RE: Dead list?

["Minor, Bob" <Bminor@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bill,

I've tried the usual players; Mez4's, Dunlop 220's, a Bridgestone B010
front and B020 rear combo, and presently the Z6 Roadtec.  I like the
Z6's A LOT.  Decent wear (rear went 6K, the front is still going),
superb grip even in the wet, and my favorite trait, they just plain feel
good.  A very neutral handling tire, it doesn't fall in to corners or
seem reluctant to corner, it just goes where you point it.  I feel more
confident on these tires than any I've ever used. 

If you like mail order, prices at Southwest Moto are amazing.

Mr. Minor,

  I'll take you up on your advice offer.

 I've got a 2000 R1150GS. I'm not Jimmy Lewis; so, I fall down
frequently in 
the dirt. I'm not Ahhnold Schwartzanegger; therefore, I have a difficult
time 
picking the beast up. Sooo, I'm gonna quit fooling myself about my
off-road 
prowess and put touring tires on the behemoth for a forthcoming trip to
Mexico 
with the esposa. 

 What tires give good handling (I am no Ricky Racer) in various riding 
environments and decent mileage?

  Thanks in advance for your time and advice>

Bill Brunetti
