Stephen B Florence,  AL I love new tires... And I love these Metzeler tires. On my VFR800 the ride, response, compliance and feedback is superior to the Dunlop GT Qualifiers they replaced. They are stable in straight line tracking but turn in easily. Adjusting the arc of a turn while leaned over is confidence inspiring. Grip is outstanding. I have more confidence in my ability to get the most out of my bike.

rick p randle,  WA metzler tire This is an exact replacement tire for my 1998 vfr1000 honda sport-bike. The tire handles, hooks-up, and corners excellent! I love it. Motorcycle Superstore saved me about $75.00 on purchase price, good buy, and good product.

Dave Marquette,  MI Great handling This is a great tire. It is my 2nd rear tire, I have a matching front tire as well. These are on A 2004 Honda Interceptor 800. It made my bike feel more agile in the corners compared to the stock dunlops that the bike came with. They are also very grippy. For the price I think they are an excellent buy. As far as durability goes, I got 4500 miles on it before I could see steel cords. I don't know what average wear is for tires on rockets so I gave it a 3 for durability. I ride moderately hard with very quick acceleration and fast take offs almost every time I get on it. They also seem to perform well in wet weather, although I limit my cornering when it’s wet.

Mike Todd Jacksonville,  FL Metzler rear tire About a year ago my local Honda dealership installed a set of tires on my 1999 VFR. This was not the tire of choice but all they had in stock. After taking a 1,000.00 trip from Jacksonville to the mountains of Ga, SC,NC,TN I am very pleased with the compound combination. A few months ago I had a rear tire blowout (not the tires fault). Recently I replaced the tire to have a matching set. I have to admit that I was not very familiar with Metzler but because of the feel and confidence these tires give me I see no reason to change.

Travis Central Point,  OR Metzeler Sportec M1 Although not as durable as the M3, in my opinion it’s outwearing the Dunlop Sportmaxx that it replaced. And I must say it feels even more confident in the corners than the Dunlop. It warms up very quickly and sticks well most temperatures I’ve ridden in. I have used this tire in the hot summer, to the wet winter times and feel confident that the bike will do exactly what I tell it to do. I am pleasantly surprised at how durable the thing is. Two years on it and it’s still about 50%. The Sportmaxx only lasted 1 year. And to speak more about the grip: I ride an old sport bike (92 GSX-R 1100) and she’s heavy by today’s standards… however, the M1 has enough grip that I actually scraped Yoshi pipe on the pavement in some hard corners (sure we all hit pegs now and then, but the pipe…?) and stuck flawlessly. There’s even enough grip that it pulls the front tire up when coming out of the corners confidently, just like the motoGP bikes. Overall, hey, I recommend it. Motorcycle Superstore was far away the lowest price. Thanks guys.

Eric Pittsburgh,  PA Good Tire for the price I'm driving a 97YZF750 with V&H carbon fiber exhaust, and other cosmetic modifications. I replaced the factory front tire with a Metzeler M1 Sportec, and loved it. These tires don't grab road grooves as bad as other tread patterns, and the traction is great, so I replaced the worn back tire with one too. Motorcycle Superstore saved me almost $100 on the price. My local dealership wanted $240 for the tire that I got for $145 here. And, that included free shipping.

Lawrence Langley AFB,  VA Metzeler M1 I really love this tire. This is my second time purchasing this tire and it really changes how well the bike can handle. I ride a CBR1000rr6. I know lots of people love the Pilot series, but Metzeler’s M1's will role with any other brand anytime. My next set will be the M3's. BTW, I have been getting about 5K on miles with these tires and they stick like glue even when I am wheeling out of a corner. In fact, I get full lean angles without even feeling like I’m that low due to comfort.
