Great!!
This tire sticks and handles great!! I don't ride in the rain so I can't say for wet traction, but on dry roads it's awesome!!

Great Tire
I got the M3s to replace the stock Dunlop’s I had on my GSX-R600. This tire grips better cold than the Dunlop’s did when they were warm. They even fill smoother when riding on bad roads through town. This tire is GREAT.

great tire
I have a GSXR 1100 that eats most tires. This is the stickiest tire I've ever had. Great tire for the money, I highly recommend it

wow
Just like the front this tire is (sick) the response is great and when you need to feel steady on crazy turns they serve you very well. This tire was made for draggin knees and grasping maximum angles. For a great street/track tire this is a great one

Nice tires
I bought the Sportec M3 front and rear for a 2004 ZX12R a couple months ago. They have a nice shape that allows the bike to lean smoothly. The tread pattern seems to wear nicely, without developing a "scallop" shape that some other sport bike tires get. Seems to be an improvement over the M1, at least for my application (commuting and pleasure riding). The price was competitive to other tires, so I think the value is really good (cost/benefit).

Wow these tires are no joke very Sticky and the price is just right. I used to have the M1's but the M3's are the only tires I will be buying from now on.

metzeler M3
I've had the tire for about 1,000 miles and it is wearing very well. It holds the road well in corners. The only problem I've had with this tire I haven’t had with the previous Bridgestone tires (which I hated) is when its cold there is a noticeable loss of grip. Over all I so far love the tire, buy it again.

Great Tire!!!!!!!!!!!
So I bought this tire to upgrade my 07 Ninja 500r to improve handling, what a big difference. This tire sticks and doesn’t let go. I can corner so much better and dont feel like I’m going to go down. They heat up very fast and are very sticky. I got about 1000 miles on it and the tire doesn’t even look that worn. Highly Recommend for the Knee Dragger!!!!!!!!!

These tires are an amazing improvement from the stock tires. I’ve put a little over a thousand miles with even a drag day and they performed flawlessly. Definite recommendation!!!

Good so far
I am not sure how they will wear but they feel stable and grippy now. Also, beware whiner shops that won't mount tires unless you buy from them at way more cost.

Great sport tire
The M1's are very nice tires and the M3's are even better. This tire has amazing grip all the way to the edge. Makes the bike handle lighter and with more confidence. I definitely recommend this tire to any sport rider! You won't be disappointed.

Work awesome on the twisties and are great for long rides. Very smooth tire that still shoes no wear after 1000 miles of riding.

Metzeler M3
Kudo's to the shipping dept. I got my tire in 2 days. So far I have no issues with the tire. It warms up quick and sticks like glue. Oh yeah a good price on a good tire, that's exactly what I got. Thanks!

Great tires for my Buell
I only have a few hundred miles on these tires so far, but they seem to be a great tire. Cornering at 80+ miles an hour they seem to grip well, best online price I found as well

GREAT TIRE!!!!!!
This is my second set of Sportec M3's. If your looking for a tire with great grip, great wear, and a tire that will last, this is your tire. My last set lasted just over 6,000 miles. I have a 06 GSXR600, and I did two track days on those set of tires, aggressive back road riding, and everyday riding. To anyone who says this tire doesn't have great mileage, I'm not sure how long you think a tire should last on a sportbike. But, anything that gets 5,000 plus miles is great on that type of bike. I highly recommend the Sportec M3's!!!!

Excellent tire, Holds heat well, Sticky enough for aggressive street riding, decent wet weather grip, lasts more than one season for my riding style. Would recommend to anyone and will buy again

Amazing tire, Only 70 miles I cant stop smiling
I got this tire mounted on my motorcycle today, which is July 01, 2008. I own a 1999 Yamaha R6 with a dynojet kit, a 520 conversion, and a bunch of other cool stuff :) I originally had a Michelin Pilot Road, and I rode it for about 2000 miles and it kinda disintegrated... So I needed a new tire. It was gonna go with what I had, or try this Metzeler. My R6 handles like a DREAM. I rode it 70 miles today, and to be honest they say 100 before you can open it up, I think about 25 miles into some good subdivision riding I ended up feeling like I wanted to get out on the roads. It's a NIGHT AND DAY difference between my Michelin and this. I use a 190/50/ZR17 and it's going to be the new front tire I put on it this Thursday. A true dream tire - and it's extremely stable at high speeds.

Great Tire
I've used every major brand of tire and these are the best.
A good street compound with excellent wear characteristics.
Hands down the best rain tire.

Sportec M-3 on 2005 R-1
Like one of the other reviewers, I started with a set of M-1's and loved them. I put the M-3's on and noticed quicker warm-up and almost always perfect traction. They are light tires and seem well suited to the R-1. I do a lot of fast riding in the foothills and they are holding up slightly better than the M-1's and are much better overall than the stock BT-01's that came with the bike. A great tire at a great price!

Great all round weather tire
I started out with the M1, LOVED them, the only problem was mileage. Then comes the M3. Great in the rain, excellent grip in cold weather. ( under 30 degrees ) The mileage on the M3 are way better than the M1 without sacrifice to handling. I ride the FZ1 1000 02 Yamaha. The stopping power with M3 tires is EXCELLENT. The price compared to other brands, you can't beat them.

Happy so far
I purchased these based on the reviews I read. No complaints so far. I haven't tested them to their limits yet, but we'll see how the durability turns out..
