I had the Monster out at a country garage today for its first MOT. It was the first time I had been out in the wet on the Z8's and I don't think it could have been any wetter up here in Aberdeen!Rob wrote:Let us know how they compare. I'm going the Z8 way too though I'm more interested in how well they last. Not a good enough rider to notice the difference in any quality tyre - they all feel good to me.......firestorm_al wrote:I've stuck a set of Metzeler Z8's on the Monster to see how they compare to the Michelin Road 3's. So far (after getting them scrubbed in) the level of grip in the dry is excellent. Haven't had them in the rain yet.

Anyway, the good thing is that the tyres performed faultlessly in the rain. The feel I was getting from the bike was like I was like I was riding on a dry road, it was only my eyes and leaky boots that were telling me otherwise!
