[QUOTE="WBill, post: 875974, member: 15300"] I've only got about 500 miles on my new set of Z8's, but I can report a little about them. This is the fifth set of tires I have had on the bike, and all the previous sets have been Z6's. All the Z6 sets had at least 10K miles on them before I replaced them, and a couple of sets had 12K. As that kind of mileage attests, I don't ride the streets as I might on a race track. Even so, the Z8's certainly feel different than the Z6's to which I had become accustomed. I have difficulty describing the difference. They seem to hold whatever line they are put in better, and may be easier to put there. It is as though I can feel the centrifugal force of the tires more as they roll, but their cross sectional profile contributes to easier tilting. I suspect that some of that feeling may be because they are new, and some of it may result from the fork oil change I had the shop do when they mounted the tires. Heck, that's about the best I can do to describe it. Of course I can't speak to mileage at this early point, but for now, I'll give the Z8's a thumbs-up. WBill [/QUOTE]
