Tire choice
Hey all I'm after a new set of tires for my z750. I have Dunlop qualifiers on it from new. Got 6500 km out of them. It's my weekend ride and I love the mountains I wanna know what tire is the best to get. As I'm new to road bikes I don't know much about the tires. The Dunlop qualifiers I have are pretty good for what I do.

Re: Tire choice
I put Michelin power pures on my Z1000 and it totaly changed the handling for the best. I think it is mainly their light weight although traction seems improved over my last tires, (Continental road attacks). Keep in mind I am old and my mind is deteriorating and I am a shitty rider even when I'm sober. Cheers.
