"I take it steady for the first 50 miles then gradually work away at the chicken strips for the next 50"
Swanny that sounds the perfect way which I also try and follow.
I swear by Metzlers (which with a new set and rain I usually do swear)
Take it easy for the first 25 miles then start building the lean angle up.
Never too aggressive, normally struggle to find a clear road to increase the angles though.
Good deals at the moment on evil bay, £159 for Front and rear. Plus with free digital tyre gauge.

I was over at Blades the other day and a chap had just picked up his brand new ZX. Pulled out a sheet of sandpaper from underneath his leathers and started rubbing his Battlax tyres all over. Good a job as any I suppose.
Bearing in mind that we live in a normally wet climate 80% of the time a wet tyre is the only way to go - trust me I've tried the lot.
Michelin Pilot Road 3's are the best tyre that I have ever come across!
No White line shimmy - even when wet and braking on them (yes I've tried it!)
Good ability on turn in on dry days and excellent braking characteristics too.
Longevity is phenomenal - I should get 10-12k out of the rear!
Buy them - the only change I would make is to swap over to Bridgestone S20's in the summer months (stickier and better turn in on twisties
