best front tire?
The Metzeler Z3 front tire on my new/used '93 900RR is looking pretty bald. I could use some help choosing which tire to replace it with.
I still have the stock 16" rim, if that makes a difference.
I ride mostly twisty country roads but I'm forced to do freeways too.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: best front tire?
I generally match my tires also but have run different front and rears in the past and had no ill affect. Suppose if you were at a track day it might make more difference. Having said that the BT012SS is supersticky all over and the BT014 is just sticky on the sides with a harder compound in the middle (longer life on the freeway rides). I must be about the only idiot that wasn't impressed with the Pirelli Diablo Corsas. They were decent tires -- much better than Dunlop (puke) but I prefer the Bridgestones.

MICHELIN PILOT POWERS HANDS DOWN..
I work at motor cycle city. we sell the most bikes and parts in las vegas. I sell about 4 sets a wk, and about 20 rears a week... I dont sell anything else unless they really want to pay more for a ****TIER tire... plus they have barely any warm up time.
f: 103$
R: 139$
best tire on the market specially for the price... I roll the pilots, and so do all of my friends... no complaints. get about 3000 miles of street riding... a lil less than the 208's (BARF)
get pilots.
