Yes, they were in fact my second pair. I think they are ideal for the bike but I do a lot of filtering between lanes on my commute which means running over raised white lines and overbanding. Despite excellent performance in other respects the PR2s arn't the most stable in that situation and after around 6/7000 mile mark you have to be a bit carefull with them. 'Not dangerous if you know what they are going to do though but unpleasant.
The bumpf for the Z8 blurbs on about less bump steer and more stability when worn, in fact for the launch journalist were given a set worn down to 2mm and they were still stable apparently. This attracted me to them
BTW I rather miss the Conti RoadAttack 2s, I had 2 pairs of those and the front tyre is quite exceptional and transforms the steering on the Gen 1. Unfortunately CR2s are too pricey for my present budget.
