Steve Lynham is excellent. He is a Metzeler stockist and does good deals on the Metzeler Roadtec Interact Z8's.
He's recently put a set on my CB1000R and the bike feels great (had Dunlop Roadsmart II's previously and wear rate not too good).
Steve recommended the Z8's and I'm very happy with them. Long lasting tyre too and highly rated in reviews.

More than enough, as long as you have ridden on total width of tyre.

I took it easy bedding my rear in only to find when looking at tyre i was riding/pushing as normally do and had no issues.
