Bruce Somersworth,  NH Excellent Tire Much better tire than the Bridgestone 21s that were on my FJR. Smoother, quieter, and the cornering is much, much improved. Gave a 4 on the wet traction and wear because I haven't driven in the rain yet and have only 1,000 miles on the tires so far. Highly recommend the Metzeler Roadtec.

Andre greenback,  TN Metzeler Roadtec My second set of Metzelers. By far the best treadlife I have seen with any tires! Nothing bad to say about the Metzeler. I got close to 10000 miles on my back tire, mostly rural country roads, living in TN alot mountain tiwsties around the smoky Mountains. I'm no shy rider either, I do more mileage on my bike in a year than the car. Saved over $40 as opposed to ordering the tire through any local shop! Definitely recommend this tire and pleasant shopping experience on Motorcycle-Superstore.com.

Chuck M Shawnee,  KS Great Tire for the FJR1300 This is my 3rd Roadtec Z6 rear tire I've had on my FJR1300. The last 2 have lasted between 10,000 and 11,000 miles. The factory tire was done at 6,000 miles so they are lasting longer, but I would like a tire that would last longer. Wet traction is good, but with the power of the FJR you have to be careful in the wet. Overall a great tire.

Eric Z Pittsburgh,  PA metzler- roadtec Z6 Have this tire on my st1300, got 9000 miles out of the 1st one, had to get another. Wet traction was the main reason. Great tire.

Donny M Orange County,  CA SO FAR SO GOOD Mixing this with the M3 on the front. I'm not a super aggressive rider, but I've put this combination through twisties on less than a 45 degree (I just don't push that far yet), and this combo feels every bit as good as the Dunlop Supermaxs that I was riding before. Most of my riding is freeway and I've had them up to 125 mph and they feel like they'll keep going. Too early to tell about the tread life and it hasn't rained since I got them so I'm "guessing" they'll perform closely in those categories as in the others.

Gary St Louis,  MO Great tires These give the best feedback and easiest turn initiation of any sport touring tire I've tried, including Michelin PR2 and Dunlop OEMs on my ST1300.
