Metz- M1 Sportec "the Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of It"

:hellobye Well lets start with the fact that they are very in-expensive and well made..... The fact that they dont last very long is prob. why..... They have great corner traction and heat up lightning fast...... and when you put the heat to them they dont melt out like some others i've had "d-lop" just to name one..... from my aspect i would say that these tires ( 120/60-180/55 ) are a great street and track tire....... but thats just my $0.02

Yeah....like I am gonna take Tire Advice from a dude with a handle like "Crash"....:lol Personally the BT010's rock...and they lasted me 13000kms this past summer:confused: with no issues at all.

I wrecked on dunlop.......... PIECE OF SHIT...........sorry....... I HATE DUNLOP....... and trust me it was'nt the rider....... d208 are stock on 2002's and i ate major shi+ from them....... but now i ride exactly the same way i did before but harder and metz m1 have never even slipped out once....

I hear ya bro...stock tires suck ass. I have heard great things about the metz...just like u r sayin here. :rock

thanks......

Originally posted by CRASH thanks...... I just put a set on my bike about how many miles are you getting from the rear? MY MEZ# gave up 2500 miles before I would swap.

Have you had those tires on the track or in any corners??? I have and they shouldnt even be in production! You mention how long they have lasted, but failed to mention how well they perform ...... hey....someone's gotta buy them;)

The M1's are the first aftermarket tire I have used and I can say I can recommend them to you all with no hesitations. They heat up REAL quick and provide awe inspiring grip through all lean angles. I will add that if you do go with the 180 instead of the 190 rear to becareful as the front will have a diving in sensation until you get accustom to them. I am anxious to try the H2's next. ~A As for the Dunlop 208,s they are scary, I came real close to being a hood ornament on a Ford Ranger as the front washed out completely and they were plenty warm.

The only problem I have with the Sportecs is their lifespan. This is the first set that I've ever had and they've already got a commuter strip on them and I haven't really ridden much. Got these tires at the end of the Fall so there's not a whole lot of riding I've done really. :(

Hey CRASH, I told you they were the shit....... OK, I bought a new rear tire and am going to try out the Diablo .... I'll let you know how they are. I am going to the track in April and will probably use the Diablo there. Anyway, how is it going???? Jim

They turn in well, grip well through corners, give good feedback, heat up reasonably quick, stay stable under the brakes, and wear pretty well too. :beer

hey there jimbo....... well just got the super corsa on and i am waiting for the weather to turn right.... i got the route maps done for the trip....... i think that you can start with us but you might have to cut out early due to school.... how do we get this started to get some boys from all over in this....

Originally posted by Dave2001R1 I hope to get atleast 3000 miles out of the rear! Sweet bike bro! :thumbup I hear people are getting between 2500 and 3500 on them depending on how you ride really. I guess we'll see huh? One thing's for damn certain...these tires have claws! :rock
