I have been known to rave about the Conti RA, but in recent rides, I'm riding into too many corners with gravel. I want an agressive front tire that will eat gravel, and the Z6 has the most aggressive tire pattern I can find. You can look up Z6 reviews; most of them are very positive. I can't give up the Conti RA rear ride due to its very stable and tenacious touring tire.
After 100 miles, I can say the Z6 is very stable, and requires light input in corners. My reluctance to speed in corners is due to concerns with gravel, and I find myself holding back for fear of it. It may be a healthy fear, but my riding buddies are usually ahead of me on the same roads. Hopefully now I can stay in the hunt.
If anyone else has the Z6, I'd like to hear your reactions.
