New tires

7500 km with the set of Metzeler Z6. It's not exactly bad, but not good either. I've read and heard people complaining that the middle section of the Z6 wears too suddenly, so that the parts of the rubber with the TWI markings are still in a good shape, but this wasn't my case: the wear is quite "balanced". I've always been pretty happy with the Z6 (two sets in Breva 1100 already), but anyway, this time I went for a set of Michelin Pilot Road2, mainly because I just wanted to test something else.

New tires always feel much better than the old ones and even though the profile of the rear tire was still quite round, the new set has now returned the lost cornering stability.
