Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact... anyone?

[Goop]

Hey gang!

Anybody run these shoes on their bikes?

I'm running the OEM Sportec M3's on my S3 and I think they are great...and they're stock! I have a little over 2K miles and I expect they will get 5-6K given they way they are wearing.

The M5 are the next evolution of the M3 with Metzeler's Interact technology.

I know fellow member krushnuts is running them on his R1 & loves them :thumbup: Drop him a line & he'll tell you all about them

If the XJR spent more time in the twisties than commuting i'd have a set in a heartbeat :rockon:

just put 4,000+ miles through my rear M5 got about 2.5k left i reckon, mind you its all 145km/h +

i did a little review a couple of weeks back.
tell me what you want to know and i will try to help.

for now though short and sweet review:

i reckon you will get 6.5 thousand miles out of a rear (all motorway riding so maybe longer from normal combined riding) middle dose flat spot, but due to stickyness its easy to re-round the tyre on the twisties.

absolutley brilliant wet weather grip (i think better than metz z8) reminds me of the dunlop road smart for wet grip.

dry grip ..... best ive ridden so far the tyre warms up nice and starts to marble at a constant 70mph....nice an sticky hit the twisties.

no slippage when crossing tar snakes or oil patches which is always good. in fact this tyre has been so sure footed i have been really riding it hard out of turns to try and find the limit of the tyre although i dont think the fz6 has enough oomph to unsettle this tyre.

Ah thanks! I found your other thread. :thumbup:

I will fit these once the M3's are spent. They are a little more $ than the BT016 but I think I'll like them.
