Lasertec tire issues
I put a pair of Lasertecs on my 1979R100RS about 3000 miles ago. I find the rear tire now has extensive cracking in the tread and sidewalls. This tire is clearly defective. I am currently seeing if Metzeler will stand by their product.

Metzeler rear tire
Since I have 3 older BMWs they call for this tire and other people recommended them. I have them on my other bikes and except for the most recent bike I just got that had alignment issues and a swing arm off center these tires seem great so far. I would recommend them to others and your company had the best deal. Thanks and great job look forward to doing more business...

Metzeler Lasertec Rear Tire
I find this to be an excellent tire. My Honda power cruiser has shaft drive that makes most tires slide during hard acceleration or deceleration. For me, this tire provides the best traction to wear ratio. The original Dunlop it came with lasted longer, however, it slid when accelerating especially in curves. On wet roads the Metzler does a great job dispersing the water to provide the best traction I have had in wet riding.

Metzeler - Lasertec: Great Tractionat a nice Price
Between Motorcycle Superstore's low prices and the Lasertec's traction and performance for me to date, this is a great buy. I ride daily, nearly 800 miles per week in commute alone and I needed a tire that clings to the road, rain or shine. Needless to say, if I'm commuting on a bike to save money, I don't want to waste all my savings on over-priced tires. My better half also rides to work, nearly as many miles as I do and he's had his Lasertec for a year already. Tread life has been great so far for him which is why we purchased the same tire for me. For the price and performance, you can't go wrong.

Great tire for 1 season
I loved this tire but I had to replace it with less than 4,000 miles on it-mounted on the rear of my BMW R75/6. Great traction and cornering though. Not long on life. I did buy another though since I trusted the stability and grip.

Excellent tire, great price
I have a 500 sport bike and this tire has been great for me. I felt instant improvement on cornering and stability. I have had it long enough to comment on the tread life, and I don't bother riding in the rain, so wet traction is unremarkable. Great price with even better cornering. I like the tread pattern, gives the bike a nice look, too.

Metz Lasertec 130/80H18 @ 42 lbs /=
I'm using this rear tire as a front on my 05 Goldwing. The tire is smooth at any speed and without any buzz in the handlebars. It corners great, sheds water, good traction. Haven’t had it long enough to know the tread life but estimate around 16K. Going by previous similar tires. If the miles work out it will be a keeper.

I Love this tire and it fits perfect. I think this tire handles the best in dry and wet conditions. I highly recommend it.

Lasertec
Always a decent tire. I wouldn't mind a bit more tread life--the rear seems to square off quicker than the Michelin counterpart but I keep coming back because of the performance.

Metzler Lasetec
Mounted two new Metzler LaserTecs to replace the Metzlers that came with the machine, an '07 Bonneville. I got 12k. miles of service from the first set. New ones are a great all around tire: speed, twisties, highway, wet, dry; and I expect the same high mileage from them. Great price and delivery time from Motorcycle Superstore as well.

Great on an XS650
I put a matched pair of Lasertecs on my 1980 Yamaha XS650 when I rebuilt the chassis. I couldn't be more pleased. The bike probably never handled as well when new. I use this bike for all weather commuting at night, and the rain traction is what I bought them for. I was not disappointed; the superb dry pavement handling is a bonus.

great in the rain for a classic BMW airhead
I wanted a tire that would stick to wet pavement--there's plenty of it in Seattle. I don't think I could have purchased a better tire. My only advice is that you put 100 miles on them on dry pavement before you ride in the rain, because when they're new, they have a coating that makes them slip--not sure why the tire manufacturing companies think it’s okay to sell them like this.

Tires for ancient bikes too!
was looking specifically for this brand/model and the rear tire (installed previously) matches. I have a 1977 BMW R100S I bought and I want am restoring/improving it. Metzler tires are the standard and I went with that. This business had excellent pricing, so I went with it. What did I know? The place is awesome. I called on a Sunday, placed the 1st order, it got shipped on Monday, I got in Friday and it was installed on Sunday. Simple, easy, bulletproof. I will definitely come back here with my future business with price and service like this

This is the second rear Metzeler tire that I have put on a GL1100 and I love them. Great tire. Will add a front Metzeler in the next few weeks.

Metzeler - Lasertec Bias Sport Touring Rear Tire 130/80 17
This bias tire should have been the original equipment instead of the radial on the rear of Triumph Bonneville / T100s. Good match to the bias front Metzeler. Have not yet ridden with it in the rain, and too few miles to determine tread life.

I love my Metzler!
The tire is great! A perfect fit and I saved about $80 over local dealer cost!

Fine, versatile skins
I bought a pair of Lasertecs to replace a set that served me well for 10K miles on my K75s BMW. After mounting and balancing, I was pleased to find them so responsive and sticky without any break-in. The last set never gave me any surprises and always felt anchored, no matter how I pushed them. I might get a set for my other bike. They appeared on my front porch a few days after my order.

Great tires. Just got them installed on my 1981 Yamaha XJ550. Ride is smooth and tires do an excellent job gripping the road.

Lazertech Rear Tire Review
I don,t have it installed yet, but it will be on for the 2006 riding season. It looks great and am looking forward to trying it on my 1982 R100T.
