Just wanted to see what your inputs are on this:
I have about 3500 miles on my Metzeler Z6 Roadtechs and they are just starting to square off now. The tires were awesome when first installed but now I'm getting kind of a rear to front squirmy feeling even on straight roads and the bike is definitely more tippy in left hand curves. The tire pressures are right on, no leaks. It almost feels like on riding on an icy road at times. I do ride to work in colder weather but it's 58 degrees right now and the bike still feels a little twitchy. It's not a terrible feeling but one I notice. It was much more pronounced when my stock Dunlop D252s started squaring off. Checked wheel bolts, steering head, swingarm torques, all good. Don't know if lowering the tire pressure a bit our backing off the rear shock would help and would like to know if anyone else gets this sensation as the tire wears. Again it's not a major sensation but one that I worry about more on the morning commute vs. the afternoon commute. Most of my other bikes had harder compound tires so I never really noticed this sensation on them. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
