Metzeler Roadtec 01

[Mark65]

Hi,
Has anybody tried these tyres?, I want some new ones for spring

https://www.metzeler.com/site/uk/products/tyres-catalogue/Roadtec-01.html

I also looked at PR3/PR4
BT023

I have OEM Dunlops at the moment, but squaring off at 4500 miles and front seems to be wearing at a faster speed than others I have had.

Thanks

I've not tried the new Roadtec 01, but I have gone through several sets of PR3's and PR4's in the past - both of which I would highly recommend. Personally I preferred the 3's, and you can pick up a set now for £170.00 if you shop around.

I'm currently on my second set of M7RR's - again, a very capable tyre that has seen me 9k miles on each set.

I have Roadtec Z8s (the predecessors to the 01) fitted to one of my bikes and love them. They're very grippy and inspire confidence from day one. I see no reason that the 01s shouldn't be as good.

i like em.
they dont turn in as well as the m7rr (rounder profile apparently)

i run a m7rr on the front and an 01 on the rear.
they do nothing nasty in any weather.
i get about 5000 miles out of a rear tyre on my s1000 and that feels about right.
i would recomend them as a fine road tyre.

Had a rear Roadtec 01 HWM, heavy weight motorcycle version on the cbr6, which is not a heavy bike. Was excellent, improved feel and confidence compared to the pr4 until temperatures dropped in november, followed by a puncture gave me an excuse to swap it for a pr4.

I have them on the MT-10 and they're a fine tyre, not as quick steering as a sports tyre but the beast chewed up and spat out it's Bridgestone S20 in 2.5K miles. So far the Roadtec 01 rear has done 4K and looks good to do the same again with almost no squaring off.

Even when I turn the TC up to full and hammer the throttle like an overexcited ape the traction control light stays off unless I hit a thick patch of salt or other road schmoo.

I've had roadtec on my k1300 for ever. 4th or 6th pair now. I'm not going to change.

I use sportec on the s1000rr. (It had continental from new)
I like them.

I think they are all Pirelli group too.
