        I bought the RDTEC's and they are absolutely incredible. cant believe it is even the same bike. It honestly has made a world of difference not only in the safety and handling of the bike but in my confidence while riding. Having tons more fun now than i was before with my tired dunlop's.

          I just switched my front Michelin for the Z6. Now I can't wait for my back tire to wear out. I really is like getting a new bike.

            Whoops...didn't notice people were still posting on this thread

            The questions have already been answered, though...as far as size and what not.

            Yeah the traction is excellent and the rain grip has felt absolutely solid. I've been out in many storms since I had the tires put on and not once have I felt any slipping. Top-notch tires.

              I'm really undecided about what to put on my Kat this year. My choices are between the Z6 which you guys seem to rate, the Bridgestone BT020 or Michelin's Pilot Road 2.

              The Z6's seem a lot cheaper than the other 2 (around $80 per pair in your money ) so there must be a trade-off somewhere. Anyone got experience with the 020's or Pilot Road's?

              The other consideration - whether to up-size the rear to 160/60? Hmm, choices, choices...
