Mark Middletown,  CT Still new I only have 30 miles so far but notice much better handling and stability with the new tires. The cornering ability is greatly improved over the original Dunlop 404. Not sure of tread life or wet handling since I haven't run up against that yet.

Alan Courtney Lexington,  SC Metzeler Roadtec Z6-rear Great tire. This is the second set I will install on my '97 BMW R850R. Ran Z4s before they quit making them. Z4s were good these tires are better. Grippy in the dry and wet. Don't know about the snow, as I live in SC. Who knows? I will have close to 12,000 miles on the Z6s I'm replacing. Like the idea that they are balanced from the factory because I mount them myself. Never had balancing problems on any Metzeler tire I've used. As long as I ride the R850R, I'll use Metzeler.

Keith Charlotte,  NC Metzler tires I've used Metzlers for years on bikes ranging from Sportster, Big Dog Pro Sport, V Rod and now BMW R1200 RT. Great in the rain, curves, and highway. Lifespan: I got 15000 on each set on the Big Dog w/ 107 S&S and the bike was ridden a lot. V Rod got over 13000 on both sets I've put on. BMW only has 6000 mi on it and the tires are not at half life yet. No, I'm not gentle w/ the tires. I usually ride 12-18000 mi. per year on all sorts of roads. These things give me good life, great traction in all sorts of weather. I don't even look at other brands any more.

Bill in Denver Denver,  CO Good tire, bad lifespan This is a good tire that only lasted 7500 miles on my R1200RT. Excellent handling and road feel. Funny thing is that the same tire in a slightly smaller size lasted near 10,000 miles on my ST1300, a much heavier bike. Go figure. I may be trying a Bridgestone 021 next time for comparison, costs less and as I recall from the ST performed just as well.

Kenneth Austin,  TX Z6 Review Overall the Z6 is a good tire. I switch from a Metzeler M1, which I loved, to the Metzeler Z6 for extra mileage. I commute to work daily in this great year round riding weather in Texas. I got close to 7,000 miles on the Z6. I canyon ride on the weekends and this is where the Z6 is a little weak. Tip the bike in the corners and you'll notice a little slide. So I'll probably go with the M3's next. But if touring/commuting is your thing, the Z6 is a great tire.
