I'm on Metzeler Z6's front and rear which so far I'm pretty happy with.
Already the front feels a lot more 'reliable' leaned over in the wet than the ME Z4's that were on the bike when I got it.
Also the front had a 120/60 instead of the Yamaha recommended 110/70 which I have now fitted. Could be placebo but it feels like before the tyre was too 'pointy' on account of being squeezed into the narrower rim. So it felt sketchy on the lean. Now seems much more predictable as the angle gets steeper. But the Z4's are older than the hills, so could just be a better tyre!!
for the next set I'm torn between trying the Maxxis's's's or the PR3's. I guess it'll depend on my bank account!
