I know this has been done to death but needing new tyres as have two nails in my rear and seems like a good enough excuse to try metzelers , as not liking the Michelin pr3's much.
My question is...are M7rr a good all round tyre, as I ride in all condition, including heavy rain. So I guess I'm just wanting to know if they'll be good enough or should I look at the roadtec 01's? Thanks again and sorry for starting another tyre thread Glynn |

Hi Glynn, I have them on my Gen 2 and I think they are the dugs nuts. Great in the dry and in 4 days of rain and standing water doing the NC500 they were faultless. I can't comment on freezing cold winter use though. Got about 3000 miles out of the rear. Ordered a new rear at the bike show for £119 and should be with me tomorrow. Think they were doing a set there for £219 up a bit on last year when I got them for £185. I am though going to try the roadtec 01 next time around to compare |

Just back from getting them fitted up at strathern tyres in Crieff and must say only 40 odd miles but super impressed so far. Felt a lot better than the PR3 and more confident inspiring. So you got 3000 miles out the rear, then I'll probably get 6000 miles . I'm not the fastest on two wheels so should be able to drag a few more miles out the rear |

Must admit didn't even consider those to be honest. Will see how these go and maybe consider those next time if these don't fill me with a warm fuzzy feeling . |

Haha I'm no speed freak either just do a lot of fudding around probably could have got another 500 miles but I'm changing wheels so no point really. Good lads up at strathearn there prices are pretty decent aswell. I found when I got them fitted I didn't even have to scrub them in, they were great from the off. |

I saw you had some for sale but needed it done yesterday unfortunately or else I would of snapped yours up A 180/50 came on the bike and had a 190 fitted to my RSV if I remember right. Enjoyed the PR3 on the RSV but not on the tuono, not sure if it was the different size or not. So went 180/55, only did the small ride home so still need a bit more time but it felt a bit better and felt better in the corners. So we shall see but happy with the size with initial ride |
