I have not found a better tire. Great performance and wonderful handling. I've used Z8s (and before that Z6s) for many years and have been completely satisfied. Rear life is about 7,000 miles and front twice that, about average for this class of tire. Plus, Revzilla beat any out-the-door price by $20.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Smooth, quiet, excellent grip. Haven't ridden it on wet pavement yet. Tread seems shallow so anxious to see what tread life is.

I've only put 495 miles on the Z8's since mounting on my '07 R12S. The traction/grip is outstanding - close to the edge on the right side, a bit remaining on the left. They give me the same solid, no drama grip that Bridgestone 002/003's & Diablo Rosso Corsa's did but the wear rate is less. I only ride in the rain by accident so I've indicated average only due to no rain experience on them to date. Interestingly, the rear measures at 187, slightly smaller than the rated 190/55 size indicated. The good news is that the 187 tire actually has a bit better turn in - proof that max width is not always better - the Z8 rear is about 4 mm narrower than the Pirelli DRC. I am hoping to get 6-8K miles out of them - if I do, I'll be very happy. If you try them, I think you'll be pleased.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact . Very, very pleased with this tire. I replaced front and rear Continental ContiMotion with these Metzelers. The Contis had poor grip and front tire vibration issues at 90+. The Z8's are vibration free and stick like glue. They instill total confidence in the corners. Fantastic wet and dry performance. Would definitely buy these again.
