Metzeler - Sportec M1 Supersport Rear Tire SUCKS!!!!!
I bought this tire brand new filled it up to the correct pressure for my triumph daytona 955i and rode it not even that hard for 813 miles and wires are sticking through, but on another note it does stick good when it has tread

Metzeler Sportec M1 rear
Not much to say about the tire other than I was proven wrong about the condition of the tire when I received it (was told most tires from internet buys are hardened). The price was unbeatable by any local tire dealers.

Great tire for the money. This is the second set I've had. I have gotten better mileage on them than any Dunlop 207/ 208 , just as sticky, and good in the rain. I can't wait to try the M3's.

The tire has awesome handling and grip behind my cbr 954 it goes when I want it to, no hesitation to torque up and show off. The tread pattern is nice but I only have about 1200 miles on the tire and it is about half wore out I may go to something a little harder next time and just ease off the throttle a bit.

OEM Tire for BMW K1200S
Outstanding customer service! Order shipped out four hours after the order was placed. I received the tire the next day. Tire works well in all conditions here in the Pacific Northwest. Good high speed and wet weather handling. Dealer tried to sell me a M3 with a Z speed rating 149 MPH for forty dollars more. M1's have a W speed rating 168 MPH. Keep up the good work Motorcycle Superstore you guys are the best!

Wear out fast, really poor in cold weather, square off after 50 miles.
I purchased only the rear tire; it matched my OEM Bridgestone front tire, which made my bike nervous and generally unpleasant to ride. The tread pattern caused the tire to square off almost immediately even though almost all of my riding is done on twisty hills and it only lasted about 3k miles. The tire is very sticky once warm (takes longer than normal to warm up) but the feel characteristics are poor, going from total traction to total loss of traction where my Bridgestone tires had very predictable grip (generally low) but at least the Bridgestone tires never high-sided me with very un-aggressive throttle input even in 50 degree weather and two slow miles of warm-up.

Its a Metzeler
This is my second rear tire; I have no complaints on this tire, excellent in rain and dry. This tire installed on my 02' RC51.

Sportec M1
I have been using the M1 on my bikes for a while and for the value (I have always been able to get them cheap through Motorcycle Superstore) they are great street tires.

Not Bad
This tire has excellent grip and good wear life. A good buy for the money. I don't care for the front though, not much of a confidence maker on twisties. Warm up time needed on both but more so on the front.

Great tires!!
I live in southern Thailand and most riding is in rain, used M1 with my K1200R,06. It's very sticky and durability is superb. Rear tire ran out of tread in 11,000 mile!!(17,600km). Two thumbs up!!

A Great Tire in General
I used to run Michelin Pilot Powers, but I found that during the weekday commute they would wear a flat spot easily; great tires nonetheless. I ended up buying a bike that had Metzeler M1's on it and I'm now on my second set. These are great tires. The tires are on a liter bike, and I commute during the week and ride the canyons once or twice a week. In commuting they are very reliable and have great traction in dry and wet conditions. The tread is plenty deep, and redirects water very well. I've not had any issues with loosing traction due to the tires. On the twisties these things stick. They heat up quickly and keep a good amount of even heat in them. I run a 180 rear, which I find to be much more agile in the corners than the 190. That's one thing I really like about the M1's: they have great geometry and allow a nice lean angle without jeopardizing the traction patch. As for durability, my last set I obtained used with the bike, so I'm not sure how many miles were already on them. I ended up getting 2,000 miles out of the rear + whatever was on it already; the front took a nail and was replaced long before it needed to be. As of now, the new set is holding up well and it is harder to wear a flat spot in them compared to the Pilot Powers. The only thing I don't like about the M1's, which has nothing to do with their quality or performance, is that the rubber injection fingers are located all over the sidewalls. I don't know if this was just my batch, or if that's normal. Again, not that big of a deal, but not the nicest looking touch. All in all, great tires for a great price.

great tires
Bought the Metzler M1 rear for my '03 R6. Great grip. Seem to warm up fast and haven't had a problem with any sliding. Saved tons of $$ by ordering them from this website and they shipped out when expected and arrived in great condition.

good tires
I haven’t been through too many of these tires but they have excellent grip in dry and wet (within reason) conditions. They are a great tire at a great price.

M1 sport tires
The Sportec M1 is by far the best tire I have ever owned. I have been riding for 10 years and owned six different bikes with many different tires and this is the only one I can trust.

Metzeler Sport M1 Supersport Rear Tire
Good price. They go for along time but they don’t stick to the road as I thought they did. I was approaching a turn going, lets say 35mph and my bike came right out underneath me. And the road was clean too. I should have invested in a jacket, or a better tire.

Good tires for the price
I was an avid fan of the Bridgestone bt-010 for a long time, but this tire is pretty good. I just purchased my second Sportec and can say that I got 3500 miles out of a rear, which is not as good as the Bridgestone BT 010 but far better than a Michelin Sport. For the price from Motorcycle Superstore Online the Metzeler is a good compromise between cost and performance. I'm still getting used to the neutral feel but they haven't broken loose yet.

awsome tires
I bought this tire and I don’t think I will use another tire or brand. I put them on my 06 GSXR 600 and they work great. Even when they are cold they are still good tires, then when they are warm it even better. I rode the crap out of these tires and I'm about to order another set. I highly recommend these tires.

Sportec M-1
I have used Metzlers for 13 years and prefer them over any other brand I have tried. The side wall is slightly softer than a Dunlop and the profile is "rounder" making transitions very smooth. I currently use these on my '02 RC51 and think they provide excellent grip and handling. You can't beat the price either

I was introduced to these by a buddy that ran them on his Triumph. We both rode on our bikes everyday, but I noticed my Michelins wore out 2X faster. (Literally) My R1 does about 4000 miles on these and they ride great. Cornering is not quite as fast as the Michelins, but the price and longevity will keep me buying the Metzlers.

Great tires! Great Price! Great shipping!
I've been riding on these tires for quite some time. They have never let me down. And finally a great place to get them. The price was great and they came to me promptly. My next set will be ordered here again.

Metzler Sportecs keep the rubber side down
What can say...Great Tires! I ride year around on a ZRX1200 and use the entire tire...no chicken stripes here! I've been using them for a couple years now and have NEVER been surprised. Awesome grip in all weather conditions and lean angles.
