[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 303862, member: 956"] Stef, I'll throw another opinion into the mix.. 40k on the 06, I've run Z6, Stradas, Pilot Roads, Avon Storms, and now a ME880 with Pilot Road in front. By FAR and AWAY, I like the Storms best IF you get a good pair. And that IF is huge. The first set ran great, I boasted on the forum how good they were. The second set? Not so good, the front cupped away early, caused serious handling issues, and required on-the-road replacement. Bought new front and rear Storms again, headed off to Nevada, Oregon, Idaho (who do ho, Idaho!) Canada, Montana.. and right about 1.5 K into it, the rear was very weird, unacceptable handling... replaced with Pilot Roads front and rear. .. So now, I'm on a Me880 rear, Pilot Road front. For USA style interstate riding, this is a great combo. The hard as nails ME needs a grippy front, I'm at the edge of acceptability using a PR front... the Avon would be much better, but after K on the ME, it doesn't even look worn.. . so, my mantra currently is 'around my house, close to my dealer / tire changer, Avon Storms rock. If I'm on a tour, the storms get tossed, a ME is on the back, and a PR is on the front. These are consistent, quality tires. IMHO, of course :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
