Very Pleased
Great choice for my 01 Connie. Puts the Dunlop to shame. Much more confidence in all aspects of handling. I haven't had in much wet condition yet, and only 250 miles so far. Trading some tread life for handling is well worth it. I will get the mate for the rear.

Good by M1
I had a set of M1's on my ZRX1100 and they were gone after 4k miles. So I figured I'd try these. The Z6's work great with more than enough traction for my sport touring style. I've got 5k on the and am starting to see the middle wearing, but with the ZRX and all my highway miles I'm very pleased, a great ST tire.

Excellent tire
Great price- 70.00 less than the local guys even after shipping (which was free!). I would recommend this tire to anyone. I use it on a 2003 BMW K1200GT and it corners on rails. Once I get it warmed up it really sticks. Cold traction is still good too but I seem to really feel it hook up in the corners once it has been pushed for a few miles. Recommend this one.

Tread life
The last Z6 lasted over 5000 miles on my ST 1100 - much better than other tires I have tried

Z6 Sport Touring Front Tire
This Metzeler tire is the best. It does everything I can ask of a sport touring tire in dry and wet conditions. Traction is always available.

Metzeler - Roadtec Z6 Front Tire
I ride >10,000 miles a year. I usually get a full riding season from the Z6 without any major issues. The bike came with dunlops and ran ok. The Metzelers are superior tires. It's all I use on the street everyday.

Would buy again
Replaced the original Metzler tire with this new one. Feels like I have a brand new bike. Awesome tire!

Metzeler Z6
I replaced the original tires on my '99 VFR with these and what a difference. I don't know if it's because the original tires were shot or if these tires are that good. The ride is ultra smooth, cornering and traction are great, and the bike rolls from side to side so easily. I've only put a few miles on them so I can't report on tread life. If the tread holds up, I'll definitely but them again.

Great tire for sport touring, can get 16000 miles out of front, but then you are riding completely bald and with the grace of God. Below the wear bars riding in rain is real iffy.Change at or before wear bars are level with tread.

As far as I know these tires are great.
Installed on a 99 BMW K1200 RS. I have total confidence that these tires will stick for the purpose of my riding style. I don't have enough experience to compare to other tires. I hope to get over 6K out of them. Time will tell. 3 were recorded as it is too early to tell.

Zero Degrees is right!
This is my 5th set of Metzeler's on my ST1100. The mileage isn't so great (5000 mi), but the grip is excellent! And even better is the feel of the bike with these tires. With the zero degree carcass, you can lean the bike at any angle, and it stays there. No dropping in or dipping too low, or fighting to keep it down. Makes the bike feel like a fighter jet.

This was a very good deal on a great tire. I cannot comment on wet traction because I have not ridden in the rain and we shall see on tread life, so far so good. Very prompt delivery and very happy with the experience.

MeZ6 Tires
These are the only tires I've run on my BMW R1150RT and I've been pretty happy with them. I've gotten between 8,000 and 12,000 miles on them, but of course, I wish I could get more. I put a lot of miles on my bike and I don't foresee me getting a different tire in the future.

Great Value!
I had some dry rot cracks in my stock tire so I decided to upgrade to this Metz. Did a 400 mile trip to the shore the week after it was installed and it handled great. Has good grip and feels solid. Can't beat the tire for the price. Only have about 900 miles on it so far but it looks like it will have a good lifespan to it.

Z6 & ST1100
I have only put a 1,000 miles on these Metzelers and they are superior to the Dunlops that came on the bike. I have not ridden in the rain and have no idea how long they will last.

These tires ROCK!
The tires make you feel like the bike is glued to the road. I only wish they would last longer I got around 8000 miles on the first pair but should have changed them out quicker. However, if the trade off is around 3000 extra miles on the harder compound Dunlop’s that came on my Honda ST1300 vs the softer more gripie compound of the Metzeler’s I will gladly trade those miles off for better control. Just my humble opinion though.

Love the Metzeler Z6
I installed a pair of these tires and the difference in handling on my ST1300 was incredible. I have now ridden with them for a couple of months and have never had a lack of confidence in these tires. I’m now on a second rear Z6. That part brings me to the down side. 6,000 miles on the rear is about it for me. I’d like to get a few more miles but will continue to use the Metzeler Z6 tires because of the improved handling

Mettzler Z6
Excellent front tire for the money. High mileage /great traction & good looking. Soon to purchase a rear, just wish the rear had a bit more tread in the center for braking. It's easy to lock up the rear end with this tire, especially in wet conditions. Front is much better.

Metzeler Roadtec Z6-front
This is the second set of Z6s that I will have used. The first (still on the bike) proved to be better than the Z4s they replaced in Metzler’s product line. The Z4s were good and the Z6s are better. I've heard that some people do not get much life out of them. But I've had this set for close to 12,000 miles. This tire is very stable in wet and dry conditions. I am riding a '97 BMW R850R. It's not as powerful as some other bikes which may explain the longer tire life.

Best I found
I've tried other tires trying to save a buck, and found that the Metzeler gave me the best mileage, feel, and confidence. I got about 1500 more miles over the Conti Road attack. To me it's worth spending about 40 more dollars.
