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.Nelso wrote:Phil runs M5s on his first gen Z1000 with no complaints.KEL10R wrote: Had the M5 on my Speed Triple (probably considered a heavier bike than a sportbike)and was happy with them,how do you think they would differ on a lighter sport bike ?

Is that the Metzler Racetec K2? On their website they have K3 for the road and K0,K1 and K2 for the track?? Had the M5 on my Speed Triple (probably considered a heavier bike than a sportbike)and was happy with them,how do you think they would differ on a lighter sport bike ? 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

Re: NATT (Not Another Tyre Thread) ZX10R
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
