As a Bloodbiker I ride in all areas and in all weathers. I had learned before I started this that the Metzeler tyre was excellent in both wet and dry conditions. the effect is that you are always riding the same bike with the same performance characteristics - on previous bikes it felt that i was riding a different bike whenever it rained compared to when it was dry. On aa advanced skills training day, one of the instructors ran up to check what tyres I had fitted as he was surprised at the way my bike handled and could stop in shorter distances than most of the other bikes. On my main bike, this is now the fourth or fifth set I have fitted, and when I bought another bike, there was no doubt in what tyres I had fitted straight away, with these being the automatic choice for my daughter's bike too.

Using Metzler tyres on my bike gives me confidence whatever the weather. Too many other brands behave differently in the wet vs dry - it can be like having two different bikes on the same journey. You don't sacrifice longevity with the Metzler either, with 9-12,000 miles per set (15,000km+. That's better than some other brands.). Their latest compound seems to have gone back to what they used a few years ago and the grip quality has improved (it had been deteriating over the last couple of versions - still better than other makes, but not the same as they made 5-6 years ago. As I volunteer to deliver blood products, I'm out in all weathers, throughout the year, so the performance of my tyres is vitally important. the Meltzer's do deliver!
On my second set of Z8s, they don't fail to impress, good alround tyre

Had these on my r1200rt le the pair of Z6 Metzlers were fitted for a two up full lugage tour from England to Florence Italy 2500 miles round trip, motorway and all road types I was very happy with all aspects of these tyres performance and would recommend them without hesitation.
Due to Covid-19 not had a chance to do a real test. The commute to work has so far not thrown up any issues. When I purchased the bike it already had the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 tyres fitted, I did 11300km them, did not have any issues at all hence this purchase.
Fitted new tyres for Trans Europe trip and experienced a wide range of driving conditions with confidence in these tyres throughout. From very hot temperatures on Italian Motorways, high rough surface on mountain passes in France, to wild windy and wet Scottish roads all with confidence at high medium and low speeds
Tyres need warming up properly for maximum effect. Has caught me out on a couple of occasions when not fully warmed. Otherwise a fair choice for the money but may not buy again unless cheap.

I had these recommended by a forum,they were not wrong
These are my 3rd set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres and they have been incredible. Very quick to warm up, slightly susceptible to squaring off if lots of motorway miles but very good grip in wet and dry. Had a couple of slight slips when banked over hard on roundabouts in the wet, but really amazing tyres. Get about 10-14,000 miles out of a front and 7-8,000 out of a rear on my Triumph Bonneville T100.
I've used Dunlop Road Smart 3, Michellin PR4 and Metzeler Roadtec 01 on my MT and the latter is by far the best. The bike feels planted, there's loads of grip even in the wet and it lasts for ages with little squaring off, though that wouldn't he the case of you did lots of motorway miles. What I like about the Roadtec is that there is more than enough dry grip than I will ever need. I'm a seasoned rider having been on bikes for 26 years and ride with enthusiasm shall we say. However despite the plentiful dry grip it is in the wet where the Roadtec shines. Lean angles and confidence that you'd expect in the dry are the norm and the feed back and turning in of the bike are confidence inspiring. These tyre also have great life with me getting 6000miles from my last rear which I think is in large part due to the fact I don't believe they are dual compound so there are no softer bits to wear quickly. Surprising given the performance of the tyre.
Not a bad tyre when new. Back tended to skip about on white lines and grooves. Past it’s best by 5000 km. wierd profile developed that caused odd handling and vibration. Plenty of tread left so I put up with it for commuting. Not as good as PR4s IMHO

I am in the older age category but still like riding enthusiastically. I live in the northern part of the UK with some brilliant twisty roads, usually well surfaced and reasonably quiet of traffic. These are the roads I like, where I can enjoy myself. Don't take all of the star ratings as accurate as some are not fully tested but they inspire trust and confidence. Also fitted to my VFR800
The front gives way under cornering with no warning. On at least two occasions under normal cornering and not heavy or fast, the tyre has lost grip. I was lucky to manage to keep the bile from dropping. i usually cover about 8000 - 1000 miles a year in all conditions. I used the RoadTec 01 in the past and they were a better all round tyre, the new SE seems to be lacking in feedback. I would use the RoadTec 01 again but not the SE.
20yrs riding experience. Have 3 bikes currently. Live in NE Scotland. Very confident dry riding fast where safe to do so but cautious in the Scottish wet slippy roads.

before i use Bridgestone tyres, when i chang to Mitas tyres i see hudge difference, rear tyre is much better stick to asphalt than with BS. Propably this is the best choice with lower price.
190/55 rear - 120/70 front. I normally buy Michelin, Dunlop or Conti Sport tyres but spotted these on eBay and read as many reviews as I could find, over a couple of weeks, before deciding to buy. I haven't been disappointed! ....Cleaned newly fitted tyres with a blast of brake cleaner, clean rag then warmed them up on a 6-mile high-speed blast around local ring road and couple of laps of 3 interconnected motorway roundabouts, before a big left-hand helical motorway slip road then up onto the pennines for a few miles of twisties. Bike felt comfortable, solid, balanced and predictable from the start. They went straight on font and rear without the need for balancing (after the valve - balance marks were lined up). Tyres have inspired more confidence with every mile and haven't squirmed in the dry yet, even under full throttle. Fantastic performance for the money.
Very grippy tires, warms up quickly, very flickable and easy to switch directions, especially when new. I tested them completely new and cold, went full gas and they didn't slide. So when new they are very grippy. After 6000 km grip gradually dissapear as tyre wears out in the middle. You can expect 10 000km from the rear and front can go at least another 3-5000 km. Higly recommend. The best cheap new tyre for your money.
No difference to a top brand, works on all road conditions.
