Danny S Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I needed new tires for my R1150RT and I have never bought them before. I found a set of METZELER SPORTEC M3's for $215 which seemed like a good deal. I know they are more of a Sport Tire, and may not wear as good as a more of a Touring tire. What do you guys think? I've read good reviews on them and they are so cheap I could put new ones on every year. Link to comment
Polo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I installed a set of Bridgestone BT-023 about 1K ago. So fat they are performing great, and they are supposed to give good longevity, we'll see. I got them for $237 from SW Moto Tires delivered. No opinion on the Metzelers, other than likely won't last very long, and the price difference is not so great. YMMV Link to comment
Jerry Duke Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The M3 is a sport tire, lucky to get 4,000 miles. The 023 is a sport touring tire, should last for 7 - 9,000 miles. When you compare 3,000 miles for $215 versus 10,000+ miles on a set of PR2's for less than $300, you can see the M3's aren't cheap but rather expensive. Link to comment
