Tyre size:
What tyre size do you require?
The exact size of a tyre can be found on its sidewall.
The following chart shows you how to read a tyre size.
1. Overall tire width in mm
2. Ratio of tire height to tire width in%
3. Tire design: ''R'' = radial tires (widely used), ''D'' or ''-'' = diagonal tires (rare)
4. Required rim diameter for this tire in inches
5. Key figure for tire load capacity
6. Key figure for the permissible maximum speed (speed index)
7. Motorcycle tire identification, tires only approved for motorcycles
8. DOT labeling
9. Date of manufacture of the tire (week of production / year of production)
 
/
SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.

I fitted these tyres after a Scotland trip with the existing trail type tyres, a couple of front end twitches and countless times the traction control kicked in even just on damp roads. With these tyres fitted a mix of high speed touring across France and Swiss alpine passes, prior to which some weekend riding with mates on sports bikes. Adjusted the fork preload and the tyres performed impeccably, even the day we had monsoon like rain. I had already sorted the pressures to my liking which were 36 front and 38 rear, with or without full luggage. The bike has limited adjustment on the suspension but only required a few clicks on the rear between fully loaded and rider only. I&rsquo;ve always ridden sports bikes until recently but my worries about grip handling the tight switchbacks on such a heavy bike were very quickly dispelled, No real signs of wear yet I&rsquo;ll have to see how they do for longevity, but no hesitation at buying these tyres again. I have Avon sport tyres on my Honda VTR SP1 and these tyres give the same feedback and a very comfortable ride. Front 110/80R19. Rear 150/70ZR17

Nice stable tyre. They were fitted to the bike when I bought it and saw no reason to try anything different when it came time to replace the rear tyre
10.05.2019fromRhys
Nice profile, decent feedback, nice all rounder.
02.08.2018fromChaz
Bought this tyre to match the front that came with the bike. Had no previous experience of Continental Motorcycle tyres, but have been really surprised at the performance to price ratio. This tyre can be had for roughly half the price of the current all singing all dancing however it offers a lot more than the budget price suggests. Used on a 600cc bike with nearly 100bhp it performs well and whilst wet weather performance isn&#39;t up there with the market leading wet weather tyres it&#39;s not far off and whilst the Sunday bike has wet weather star tyres as standard it also has ABS so the older bike with the Conti&#39;s doesn&#39;t get ridden perhaps as hard in the wet due to this. Well happy and will prob buy again if they also give good mileage. The rear is showing some wear after nearly 2000 miles so expect to need replacing at around 5k, the front seems to wear a bit better but I&#39;m not too heavy on the brakes. so next renewal time will prob need a set.

While tyre performance is good. Tyre longevity is very poor !!
11.07.2015fromRobert Nott
My first tyre was recalled by Continental thru Delticom Tyres for a potential sidewall fault. The cost to fit the replacement tyre was £31.50 but Delticom only refunded me £11.60. I am out of pocket by £19.90 and Delticom will not refund this amount. The tyre is great but cannot recommend Delticom Tyres.

First day on bike I rode down to Cornwall 230 miles door to door to my mates with no problems I was only there for 5 days yet I covered 1300 miles by the time I came back from cruzin down the A303 to all the back roads to motorway the tyre was first class.

Had these on my r1200rt le the pair of Z6 Metzlers were fitted for a two up full lugage tour from England to Florence Italy 2500 miles round trip, motorway and all road types I was very happy with all aspects of these tyres performance and would recommend them without hesitation.
21.07.2020fromKeith
Due to Covid-19 not had a chance to do a real test. The commute to work has so far not thrown up any issues. When I purchased the bike it already had the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 tyres fitted, I did 11300km them, did not have any issues at all hence this purchase.
09.01.2019fromJohn King
Fitted new tyres for Trans Europe trip and experienced a wide range of driving conditions with confidence in these tyres throughout. From very hot temperatures on Italian Motorways, high rough surface on mountain passes in France, to wild windy and wet Scottish roads all with confidence at high medium and low speeds
27.09.2015fromDavid Mantle
Tyres need warming up properly for maximum effect. Has caught me out on a couple of occasions when not fully warmed. Otherwise a fair choice for the money but may not buy again unless cheap.

before i use Bridgestone tyres, when i chang to Mitas tyres i see hudge difference, rear tyre is much better stick to asphalt than with BS. Propably this is the best choice with lower price.
27.06.2022fromLenehan
190/55 rear - 120/70 front. I normally buy Michelin, Dunlop or Conti Sport tyres but spotted these on eBay and read as many reviews as I could find, over a couple of weeks, before deciding to buy. I haven&#39;t been disappointed! ....Cleaned newly fitted tyres with a blast of brake cleaner, clean rag then warmed them up on a 6-mile high-speed blast around local ring road and couple of laps of 3 interconnected motorway roundabouts, before a big left-hand helical motorway slip road then up onto the pennines for a few miles of twisties. Bike felt comfortable, solid, balanced and predictable from the start. They went straight on font and rear without the need for balancing (after the valve - balance marks were lined up). Tyres have inspired more confidence with every mile and haven&#39;t squirmed in the dry yet, even under full throttle. Fantastic performance for the money.
21.09.2021fromMladen
Very grippy tires, warms up quickly, very flickable and easy to switch directions, especially when new. I tested them completely new and cold, went full gas and they didn&#39;t slide. So when new they are very grippy. After 6000 km grip gradually dissapear as tyre wears out in the middle. You can expect 10 000km from the rear and front can go at least another 3-5000 km. Higly recommend. The best cheap new tyre for your money.
10.11.2018fromThe Phoenix Store
No difference to a top brand, works on all road conditions.

Predictable grip in the wet and dry. Seem to not wear quite as well compared to previous Bridgestones, but grip a bit better in the wet on my &lsquo;98 GSX 750, I am not a GP rider but then again, this isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;lightweight&rsquo; 500 twin either, when riding something like this, you have to mean it and don&rsquo;t want to be let down by cheapo &lsquo;India Rubber brands&rsquo; half way round a corner. These are far better than anything that was available when the bike was new as are all mainstream brands. So far, I can&rsquo;t fault them. Generally speaking, really sticky tyres wear out quick on heavier bikes and long life tyres don&rsquo;t grip. These seem to have dual compound characteristics??
14.08.2024fromPaul Knowles
Absolute perfection. These tyres inspire confidence! Superb handling and braking characteristics. The make my bike feel lighter and more agile. I run them 3psi higher than rated on my machine and they feel great. Very happy with the tyres and I&rsquo;ll by them again and they have now become my go to tyre!

I drive motorcycles around 40 years, priming for safety than sportivity. My goal is ride long kms and safe. Not for speed.

These tyres were a revelation. All year round sporty road tyre - which perfectly matches the Street Triple. Plenty of dry summer grip and just on the quick side of neutral steering, but quick warm up and consistent grip in winter. Confident wet grip.

As a Bloodbiker I ride in all areas and in all weathers. I had learned before I started this that the Metzeler tyre was excellent in both wet and dry conditions. the effect is that you are always riding the same bike with the same performance characteristics - on previous bikes it felt that i was riding a different bike whenever it rained compared to when it was dry. On aa advanced skills training day, one of the instructors ran up to check what tyres I had fitted as he was surprised at the way my bike handled and could stop in shorter distances than most of the other bikes. On my main bike, this is now the fourth or fifth set I have fitted, and when I bought another bike, there was no doubt in what tyres I had fitted straight away, with these being the automatic choice for my daughter&#39;s bike too.

Using Metzler tyres on my bike gives me confidence whatever the weather. Too many other brands behave differently in the wet vs dry - it can be like having two different bikes on the same journey. You don&#39;t sacrifice longevity with the Metzler either, with 9-12,000 miles per set (15,000km+. That&#39;s better than some other brands.). Their latest compound seems to have gone back to what they used a few years ago and the grip quality has improved (it had been deteriating over the last couple of versions - still better than other makes, but not the same as they made 5-6 years ago. As I volunteer to deliver blood products, I&#39;m out in all weathers, throughout the year, so the performance of my tyres is vitally important. the Meltzer&#39;s do deliver!

before i use Bridgestone tyres, when i chang to Mitas tyres i see hudge difference, rear tyre is much better stick to asphalt than with BS. Propably this is the best choice with lower price.

190/55 rear - 120/70 front. I normally buy Michelin, Dunlop or Conti Sport tyres but spotted these on eBay and read as many reviews as I could find, over a couple of weeks, before deciding to buy. I haven&#39;t been disappointed! ....Cleaned newly fitted tyres with a blast of brake cleaner, clean rag then warmed them up on a 6-mile high-speed blast around local ring road and couple of laps of 3 interconnected motorway roundabouts, before a big left-hand helical motorway slip road then up onto the pennines for a few miles of twisties. Bike felt comfortable, solid, balanced and predictable from the start. They went straight on font and rear without the need for balancing (after the valve - balance marks were lined up). Tyres have inspired more confidence with every mile and haven&#39;t squirmed in the dry yet, even under full throttle. Fantastic performance for the money.

Very grippy tires, warms up quickly, very flickable and easy to switch directions, especially when new. I tested them completely new and cold, went full gas and they didn&#39;t slide. So when new they are very grippy. After 6000 km grip gradually dissapear as tyre wears out in the middle. You can expect 10 000km from the rear and front can go at least another 3-5000 km. Higly recommend. The best cheap new tyre for your money.

No difference to a top brand, works on all road conditions.

As a Bloodbiker I ride in all areas and in all weathers. I had learned before I started this that the Metzeler tyre was excellent in both wet and dry conditions. the effect is that you are always riding the same bike with the same performance characteristics - on previous bikes it felt that i was riding a different bike whenever it rained compared to when it was dry. On aa advanced skills training day, one of the instructors ran up to check what tyres I had fitted as he was surprised at the way my bike handled and could stop in shorter distances than most of the other bikes. On my main bike, this is now the fourth or fifth set I have fitted, and when I bought another bike, there was no doubt in what tyres I had fitted straight away, with these being the automatic choice for my daughter&#39;s bike too.

Using Metzler tyres on my bike gives me confidence whatever the weather. Too many other brands behave differently in the wet vs dry - it can be like having two different bikes on the same journey. You don&#39;t sacrifice longevity with the Metzler either, with 9-12,000 miles per set (15,000km+. That&#39;s better than some other brands.). Their latest compound seems to have gone back to what they used a few years ago and the grip quality has improved (it had been deteriating over the last couple of versions - still better than other makes, but not the same as they made 5-6 years ago.

These are the best tyres in the wet I've ever had. Have given me lots of confidence and allows me to lean further in a corner than I ever have.
