I need to get new tires for my '97 Bandit 1200S. It looks like y'all like the Avon 45/46s and the Metzeler Z6 Road Tecs... is there one that is preferred over the other? The cost is identical and it looks like they're both getting good reviews. Getting caught in a snow storm with the Z6s puts them over the top. Anyone who's had both care to comment on which one is better? I'm not an aggressive rider. My primary concern is durability and wet/snow traction. I ride in the winter, so getting caught in bad weather is certainly a possibility. Thanks!
