Who has worn out a Z6 rear? How many miles did you get? How did you know when it was worn out? I was down to cords on my 207 after 2600 miles. So far I have 4900 miles on the Z6. It's a great tire...The problem is I can't tell how much rubber I have left. There aren't any grooves that cross the middle of the tire & there doesn't seem to be any wear indicators  I plan to get another Z6 when this one is finished, I just don't want to be 300 miles from home and see cords. | ||

What is a "Z6"? Metzeler? | ||

Yes, it's Metzeler's ST tire - replaced the Z4. Does the Z6 have the same profile as a M1, by chance? | ||

I probably had 3000 on mine when I traded the bike in, and it was showing no significant signs of wear at all. It may have been starting to get a little less "sticky", but hard to say, as I had a crank seal leak all over it and never did feel like I got all that goo off it, and my isolators were starting to get soft, so a lot of moments that felt like the back getting loose probably had nothing to do with the tire. I like the Pirelli Scorpiens on my new CityX. Might be interesting to throw a set on a tuber. Don't know the price or the wear yet, I'll do my part to wear a set out  | ||

I believe the Z6 has the same profile as the M1. | ||

my first Z6 rear went 6400 miles. had a pretty good flat strip in middle, was not dangerous, but i had a new one in stock, so i changed both front and rear. nice improvement in handling, fresh tires always feel good. we have a lot of gravel/construction/debris in roads here, and it rains a lot, so i dont like to run my tires down too far. the Z6 lasts more than twice as long as the dunlop 207, and handles better. | ||

How about pricing? Are Z6's significantly more expensive than M-1's? Mike. | ||

The Z6 is almost exactly the same price as the m1 I got a rear for $115 online. | ||
