I must say I rated the K2 slicks so if the tread-eds are anything like them then they are worth a shot

Yep, taking them to Wakefield on Friday, with 5K on them and they still look good. ;)

Is that the Metzler Racetec K2? On their website they have K3 for the road and K0,K1 and K2 for the track??

Would the K3 be better on the road than both?



Yeah K2 treaded, now that i think of it they are probably not DOT.

I have no idea with M5's on a lighter sportsbike as I have only run the K2 on my 10R and rarely rode it in the wet or on long rides (purely a blat bike for the up in the hills at the time), have the 12R for these duties.

Anyway I would go with what Phil says on this ;)

Question about the Metzler race tech k2's.

What temps cold and hot would you normally run them at?

I just got a set fitted to my track bike 07 zx6r and was wondering what to put in.

Thanks
