Bike: FZS600 Fazer

BT020: Very good, well suited to the bike, more than enough grip for the engine and suspension though they can feel a little 'wooden' when worn, especially in the wet. Last ages if you have a smooth throttle hand.

Mez6: Fantastic in the wet and dry, really going for it will give gentle power slides coming out of wet corners on well surfaced roads, but they never feel threatening. Last for a long time, not as long as the BT020, but they have a much more constant feel as they wear. Only downside of that is that you can't tell how worn they are until the next ply of rubber starts to show through (no tread or wear marks in the centre of the tyre).
