Metzler RoadTec Z6 opinions?

'73 H1 Triple · 05-17-2009, 08:23 AM

I need a front tire for my '93 ZR1100 as somehow I wore out the front before the rear

I currently have Dunlop D205 on it.

Anybody running metzler RoadTec Z6 and how do you like them?

I'm having a difficult time finding decent matching sets since the bike runs odd tires sizes, 120/70-18 on the front and 160/70-17 on the rear.

Thanks
Jeff

you could probably put a 160/60 on the back without any real issues I think. might be worth a look at least.

I run either Metzler Z6 or Pirelli Diablo Strada because I use my bikes for commute. Plenty good for such purposes and still sticky for sport riding. Excellent wear.

Just talked with Dave who purchased my ZR1100 new. He had metzlers on the bike and hated them.

Maybe I'll just stick with the dunlops D205

Be nice if the stradas were made in my size
