Stop looking at the lines and the bike will stop going on them, basic rule of riding what you look at is where the bike goes

I wouldn't buy anything else now to be honest.
Best road tyre bar none in my opinion, not cheap but deals can be found any of the Pilot range.
The best suited for the FZS is https://www.michelin.co.uk/motorbike/tyr...-power-2ct Yes later versions are out but over the top, these will give you the best all round performance for the money.
Don't fall into the trap of these track based tyre tests, tracks are nothing like a greasy roundabout in the wet! Or tyres tested on sports bikes etc, only a fraction of your riding will be spent at high lean angles, what matters is wet performance, braking stability, wear rates.
Just be aware many tyre places will tell you, you need later versions. the 2CT is crap, they don't make anymore etc, etc. It's just because they get better margins on the latest tyre and went to flog you them, money in their pocket.
