Hi All, I am getting near the time that I need to start thinking about a new rear tire on my 05 FZ6. I have owned this bike since last year. When I got it, the front tire needed to be changed so I had a Dunlop Roadsmart installed. I was told it was a Roadsmart II, but it wasn't. I ride a good share of the year with a 60 mile round trip everyday. The Roadsmart currently installed has squared off maybe a bit more that I thought it would have by now. When I got the bike, it has about 12000 miles on it and now it has about 20000.
So now for the back tire. I do not ride real aggressive. I am not afraid to lean it over a ways, but truthfully, most of my riding is pretty much just straight down the freeway. So my biggest requirement is the best mileage I can get. I do need good grip in corners and sometimes it can be a bit wet, but not often. The tires I am looking at are as follows.
Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact Sport Touring
Michelin Pilot Road 3
Dunlop Roadsmart II
These three tires seem to be fairly comparable in price.
I welcome any and all feedback on these tires.
Thanks so much for your help.
