Re: oilheads-digest V1 #329



Wow,  Such a deal to be able to say you put 3k miles on tires without 
trying them in the rain!  I gotta move to CA!  ;-))

I agree to stay away form the Dunlops.  Also,  I had the Conti Force 
tires and didn't like them for agressive riding.  Might be ok for 
touring if you just do straight line stuff though.  My favorite was the 
Avon, though the read would 'thrum' in top gear when new.  My 
recommendation at this point would be the Z6.  FWIW.
