Have to agree with twisted... I hate BT020's. I have had them on 3 new bikes and they always sucked. Cupping bigtime up front, and getting really hard in the center in back, which, when you go to lean into a corner you feel the 'ridges' that the flatspot of the rear tire makes when you DO mostly commuting. When I wanted to lean the bike it was downright scary feeling that ridge!

Have to disagree about the Metzler Z6 though. I replaced the Bridgestones with them and it's a WORLD of difference. I have 2,000 miles on them, they have no hardness developing in the center of the rear tire, nor are they cupping at all up front. You can tell from looking at them that I have leaned them all the way over with no stiction problems. These tires have inspired me to be more aggressive and not worry about it. I love them!

I have heard great things about the Corsairs though, so that'll be my next choice when the time comes.
