R. Day Shoreline,  WA Metzler M3's Put them on myself, didn't need balancing. Had them up to 90+ mph with no noticeable vibration. Replaced original stock battlax tires on my Katana and not looking back. Bike sticks to pavement like glue now, rethinking whole riding style now with much more confidence. Was considering getting rid of the bike before, think I'll keep it now. Gave durability a 3 based on postings on this site, only have a few hundred miles on mine so too early to tell. Love 'em so far dry and wet. Care much less about durability as opposed to performance. If I'm still alive after commuting on them for 4-5,000 miles I think they are worth every penny.

Jason Silva Beaufort,  SC Great Tire!!!! This is a great tire, it is very sticky and is a tire you just know you can lean into that curve with. Have not had a chance to really test it in the rain but I think it will hold up great. I love these tires and will continue to get the M3s. Awesome tires!!!!

Shawn Macon,  GA Excellent tire... My bike is an '02 Suzuki 750, of which i have had since '04. When I first got her, she had the stock tires on her. I quickly changed over to the Metzeler tire brand, and noticed an immediate difference. I started off with the M1 brand. Loved that tire but i wanted something with more mileage and still gave me the cornering ability that I wanted. The M3 series fit the bill. I have been running the M3 series on my bike for the past 3+ years. love this tire. It has great cornering ability along with the mileage that makes this tire a great all around tire for cruising, and when you want to lean it over and carve up the corners. You can do that with no worries. Also this tire does warm up quickly. So you don't have to take slow (for long) in those colder winter months. I will proudly recommend this tire to anyone.

Jeremy Las Cruces,  NM Great Tire I got the M3s to replace the stock Dunlop’s I had on my GSX-R600. This tire grips better cold than the Dunlop’s did when they were warm. They even fill smoother when riding on bad roads through town. This tire is GREAT.

steve chicago ,  IL wow Just like the front this tire is (sick) the response is great and when you need to feel steady on crazy turns they serve you very well. This tire was made for draggin knees and grasping maximum angles. For a great street/track tire this is a great one

Mike Electric City,  WA Nice tires I bought the Sportec M3 front and rear for a 2004 ZX12R a couple months ago. They have a nice shape that allows the bike to lean smoothly. The tread pattern seems to wear nicely, without developing a "scallop" shape that some other sport bike tires get. Seems to be an improvement over the M1, at least for my application (commuting and pleasure riding). The price was competitive to other tires, so I think the value is really good (cost/benefit).
