hmmmmmm............ No........... would rather let a pro do it , especially the balancing....

I put 021 rear on an FZS600 2500 miles ago and same story squared off but loads of tread on the edge. I went to Assen in June with it which was about 1000 miles all in and it was pretty much straight motorway but it's supposed to be a touring tyre for feck sake. And the front arrrrrrghhhh, what a noise and it was only replaced 2000 miles ago, can't wait till it wears out so I can replace it with ...

Apparently this is an undocumented feature of these tyres. I've just had a pair fitted and hadn't notice anything with the recent blustery weather, until I was pulling into the car park at work on Friday. I can only describe it as a droning from the front tyre.

33 quid .................................................. ..........................cheaper than that

and they wear brilliantly, however they are not rated for fazers and if they want to be an arse insurance will be invalidated in event of an accident. But you'd be really unlucky to get caught out!

On the FZS600 I found the Michelin Pilot Road 2 pretty good - better than Bridgestone BT020 and maybe a bit better than Metzler Z6. Might not be the best value i.e. miles per £, if this what you are really after you might be better off looking at Continentals or Maxxis. Have a look at what couriers use as they tend to go for the cheapest overall.

If your locking wheels inst that more likely to be your braking rather than a grip issue?

I love my Metz Z6's. Mich RP2's are also popular, and Avon Storms. The 021's don't seem as popular as the 020's, and seem to suffer from a lot of noise from the front.
