Simply AWESOME!
Been riding Metzelers since I've been riding. Just wore out a set of M1 on my 05 R1 which were awesome but wanted to try the M5. Best move I've ever made! Rode the rain at high speeds with NO slip! Been up to 185mph and was smooth as glass! True, they may not last long but I only got two tires on the ground so grip is more important than millage!!! If you’re Superbiking this is the only way to go!!!

3,400 miles on a S1000RR
Great street tire. Have lasted 3,400 miles on a S1000RR with a 520 conversion and -1/+3 lower gearing, and that includes a day at VIR. For track use I'm going back to the Racetech K3s for added peace of mind when fully leaned over. Will get 4,000 out of them before I have to replace them (with another set of M5s). So good, I've put a set of M5s on my Ducati Monster 1100S. Definitely recommend them, and you will also have a lot of fun scuffing the elephant.

Great tire
All-around great tire. Grip, feel, and wet/dry performance have been superb. Mileage has been lackluster on my 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa, as I've been seeing around 1.7k miles per rear tire and roughly twice that on the front. I ride fairly aggressively with some highway miles and lots of twisties, but the stretches of riding to reach the twisties leave me with that $50 worth of rubber on the sides with nearly every tire change.

Really Great Tires. Big difference compared to my stock ones
Handling was noticed as soon I got them on. I'm a beginner rider and these tires made me feel confident and safe leaning.

Better than Pure Powers
I have used these for a long time. Bought a bike with new PP Michelins. I liked them, but they do not last. When starting to wear, they slip really bad. I went back to my M5's and staying there.

kev (houston, TX)
best tire for sportbike
Purchased about two months ago. Love it, got caught in a thunder storm and didn't miss a beat. Best tire in wet weather I have ever used. Talk about knee dragging, these are the best choice. Don't know about tread life I only put about 500mi. On them they still look and handle like new. Be sure to give em an initial smoking when you first put them on nothing crazy just to remove the mold film. Oh yeah, I got a matching set.

Great tire!
All around good tire. Wet and dry traction is excellent. I marked it a 4 for tread life because it's a softer tire so it won't last as long.
