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.

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.

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 ‘98 GSX 750, I am not a GP rider but then again, this isn’t a ‘lightweight’ 500 twin either, when riding something like this, you have to mean it and don’t want to be let down by cheapo ‘India Rubber brands’ 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’t fault them. Generally speaking, really sticky tyres wear out quick on heavier bikes and long life tyres don’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’ll by them again and they have now become my go to tyre!

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'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'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'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.

Bargain price , got to try out on a bike I've just rebuilt as a track day bike that I can use on the road , grip well ,cut up nice , don't seem to wear ?!?!
18.01.2019fromGH
Sportec M3 don’t give me confidence in the slightest when wet. I’ve had the rear wheel spin out on me when opening up to overtake on motorways in the wet. I’m not a light person son the bike has a good load weight but breaking is very poor in the wet too.
25.03.2013fromViperx220
Great tyre at a great price. Like glue on a blanket :)

Never liked the Pirelli's in the wet so tried these and got just a nice all round result. Not brilliant at anything but trustworthy in any weather.

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.

Very dissapointed. Tires arrived bumpy. Front tire felt like tractor tire, shipped it back to mitas slovenia, they sent another one (less bumpy) but still bad.
16.04.2023fromSebastjan
no complaints, the tire is more than great for the money. the handling of the motorcycle is satisfactory both in the wet and in the dry.. the rear tire lasted about 9500 km of quite wild driving in wet and dry conditions.. even on the highway over 200 km/h it is very stable.. the front tire would have lasted a few more km..

Break away is progressive, wet weather breaking is very impressive, longevity and resistance to squaring off even on long journeys has made the tyre a great companion for the money. My only gripe is a lack of sensation nearer the limit of cornering grip. although due to the smooth breakaway, understeer is relatively recoverable. Not bad at all.
21.12.2010fromAllen
I am on my second pair, I think they provide great grip and ride quality. They feel much better than the BT45. They wear acceptably, around 9000 miles/14000 KM for rears double that for fronts. Judging from the other posts I guess they don't like German roads.

For UK weather, these are great. Fast warm up and not a disaster if you hit loose surfaces. They are a rain tyre pattern, but with a relatively harder compound and originally designed for supermoto bikes. They are still soft compared to an allround tyre like pirelli diablo strada, but do have good tread depth. As one of the few tyres that have the front wheel tread pattern facing down instead of up, i admit that aesthetics played a part in my decision. However, crappy and cold UK roads are where these excel. They warm up almost instantly and don't melt into nothing on longer motorway(freeway) stretches. I think they're too short lived for a commuter because it's a single compound and will square off the rear, but for the weekend warrior that wants a real allrounder for any roads, they are hard to beat. The K60 scout doesn't come in popular 17" sizes and is more plastic than rubber. The ubiquitous TKC80 vibrate at high speeds and aren't great in the wet. The Bridgestone AX41s scrambler and Pirelli Scorpion tyres are a close competitor, although I may only try it on the rear next time. If you have a heavy bike, no problem as k73 are bias ply. If you want to do a track day, get something else. Interestingly, more and more custom bikes are fitting heidenau k73 in lieu of the too aggressive continental TKC80 and the not aggressive enough TKC70.
31.12.2019fromGus
Tyres act and feel as they look, tight handling on corners lots of grip on bends swift braking where necessary great in the wet on drying surfaces the ride is superb in the wet will out perfirm your expectatiins (but be safe) roll well no real loss of speed a really goid fiit prunt on the road in the winter. I personally have winter and summer tyres i swap out when the seasons are rught , i do ride all year round would love Heidenau to bring out a z-Q rated for a rear 180/55 hint hint as my litre bike would lap at the floor with these on! Great value , great design and all sorts of fun when you have to turn it up.
