Metzlers Sportec Klassic Tires

  • Thread starter Thread starter Gs1000g

I agree, without the rebate they were very hard to justify when I could of got a pair of Avon for significantly less. I am hoping the Metzlers outlast the other tires and get more mileage per dollar because you talked me into doing it for science.....

Here are the current photos of the tires. I am very happy with the wear and after this warm weekend of thrashing Im probably 3500ish miles on the set mainly riding two up so the extra weight of a passenger this has definitely outlasted my sport demon, looks better than my D404 did at this mileage, so we shall see




 
Cool, they look very good for the mileage you have!
 
Any update on thoughts about the Sportec Klassik?
I?m considering getting them in 3.25-19 & 4.00-18 for a T500 cafe build.

I think they're good tires, I have them on my Guzzi. So far, they saw about 4000km's of service consisting of commuting, medium and long tours/vacation. Wear and Tear is nice, and at the same time, the tires feel quite sticky.

Though, caveat: I managed to slip the rear when chasing up the Stelvio Pass - but this was with bagagge on the rear, pushing the limits, me being a comparatively novice rider, low temperatures, and a small oil leak discovered later on that may have contaminated the tire.

These will definitively go on my GS'es as well.
 
Finally an update, I took the GS to NW Arkansas and thrashed around. the tire stuck like glue, the wear is negligible and handled great in the torrential downpour I got caught in. Will continue to update as I ride would still recommend these for anyone
