You're putting a Pilot Race on the rear?

I liked the Stradas alot, better than the BT 021's I have on now. I do believe that which bike your on has alot to do with it though...My friends Duc SS was a blast on the Bridgstones, which is why I boutgh them to replace the Stradas, but they don't like my suspension setup on the ZX6. The Stradas were perfect on it. The Metzlers worked good on it to (same parent company).

I've been running the Metzler Z6's and have been pretty happy with them from the commuter side of things but still aren't great in the twisties.

so know, i have to choose between the Z6, Rosso's, Stradas, Pilot Road 2's or the new BT-016 5-layer.

I'll post some pics of my strada's... but after 4k... 3500 of super slab and 500 of twisties... they're just SLIGHTLY flat spotted... and I mean SLIGHTLY.

OUTSTANDING tire IMO... never had a pucker moment with them... I'd venture to guess I could make my trip 2 more times with these same tires and still have tread to spare...

I was leaning toward the strada's after talking with you in Indy, but have read good stuff about the Pilot Road 2. But I'll take word of mouth over read reviews most days

Cutty saw mine yesterday and was really surprised how little they showed for wear.

I never even thought about my tires other than the chain lube on my left side... and even with that... never even felt a bit of slide... and I very nearly erased my chicken strips in what... a total of 3 days of twisty riding... EVER. lol

Mine don't show hardly anything after 1000 miles of interstate.
