for hard wearing i would recommend the michelin macadams, not soo brill in the wet but lasted for ages.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

020's might last ages, but ive found them horrible to ride on ..
010's (or modern equivalent) last forever on lightweight bikes and actually have some feedback ..

Re: best tourer/comuter tyre?
Well i have my BT021s screbbed in, VEry good for a commuter tyre, but you might want something a bit stickier all depends. Swings and roundabouts i guess. I think that the 21, has more grip than the 20. More confident too scrapped my toes other day without realizing i was that far over, wasn't even hanging off.
