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.

07.02.2025 from David Bennett
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’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’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

Have had no problems at all since fitting these tyres. Live in the country do occasional poor road surface, mud etc and had no nasty surprises. Pleased with them and appear to be wearing well too. No speed demon but have confidence in the tyre to deliver when needed.

Find the tyre great. Perfect in the dry anyway. Haven't tested it too much in the wet but never noticed any slippage.

27.11.2021 from Chris
The tyre inspires confidence It has great grip during direction changes Has plenty of grip during a wet never makes me feel cautious, it's the best tyre for the bike.

Great tyre if you don't mind replacing often. Grips great in hot weather but wears out quicker in cold weather.

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'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't sacrifice longevity with the Metzler either, with 9-12,000 miles per set (15,000km+. That'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'm out in all weathers, throughout the year, so the performance of my tyres is vitally important. the Meltzer's do deliver!

28.03.2022 from Bob Fisher
I am in the older age category but still like riding enthusiastically. I live in the northern part of the UK with some brilliant twisty roads, usually well surfaced and reasonably quiet of traffic. These are the roads I like, where I can enjoy myself. Don't take all of the star ratings as accurate as some are not fully tested but they inspire trust and confidence. Also fitted to my VFR800
23.02.2022 from Mark
The front gives way under cornering with no warning. On at least two occasions under normal cornering and not heavy or fast, the tyre has lost grip. I was lucky to manage to keep the bile from dropping. i usually cover about 8000 - 1000 miles a year in all conditions. I used the RoadTec 01 in the past and they were a better all round tyre, the new SE seems to be lacking in feedback. I would use the RoadTec 01 again but not the SE.
11.12.2021 from Chris
20yrs riding experience. Have 3 bikes currently. Live in NE Scotland. Very confident dry riding fast where safe to do so but cautious in the Scottish wet slippy roads.

Great feedback, responsive turning, easy to change direction Not had tyres long enough to rate wear or wet.
18.11.2024 from A Nonny
I've been riding 39 years, Still lovin it & still pulling the trigger. If a K1600 bangs past you It's probably me and wife. The tyres have been great over almost 3000km this summer in UK & ireland (a lot of 2-up with luggage) with no sign of flatfacing yet. We will see how long they last .The best we've had so far on our BMW tourer. "pricey but nicey"
24.09.2024 from Mark Foley
Absolutely fantastic. Squared off at 6000kms but loads of tread left. Total confidence in the wet and the dry.
11.07.2023 from Colin
These tyres handle anything, I've even done a track day with them knee down no problem and showing very little ware.
