Metzler Lasertec
lasertec's rock!
- andy gilliland from san antonio, tx USAI've got a 90/90-21 and 120/90-18 on my drz-s and I just did a track day at a local track. These tires stick like crazy! All the other motards there kept coming over and asking what tires I was running and were surprised that I wasn't running 17" wheels and normal 'tard tires. I pushed these tires HARD, and they just kept sticking. Bottom line, these tires rock! especially for anyone out there running a "sportsman" supermoto set-up on a dirt bike.

Dry rot
- Wade Futey from West VirginiaI bought a new laser- tec last May, when I got the bike out in March and was cleaning the wheels I noticed that it was totally dry rotted all the way around on both sides. I contacted Phil in customer service numerous times to no avail. I bought the tire from Donalson cycle via mail, so they say it is Metzlers problem and Metzler says it`s Donalson`s problem. Raspberries to Metzler and Donalson.

Metzler RoadTec
- T Lee from Green Bay, WI USAHonest Sport Touring on a ST1300
Just shy of 20K on the odometer and I just hung my second set of Metzler RoadTec Z6's on the axles. Honda supplied 2005 ST1300's with Bridgestones and I "thought" the originals were satisfactory. Was I wrong! The first replacement Metzlers literally made the bike come alive.
Incredible dry handling, NEVER a problem with loads & 2-up, superior confidence during August thunderstorms with hail, comfortable ride in late October (aka..., freezing cold) temperatures right out of the garage...., what more could you desire besides mileage?
How does over 11K sound? Miles, most of 'em with a passenger, agressive "country highway" sport touring, mounted on a bike not known for it's "lean" profile and never a day away from the next summer storm. Now you know why I just mounted the second pair of these great performing tires.
The Techies have developed "new & improved" rubber but with closeout pricing for these Metzlers at most online retailers, you'll never spend a better $105.00 for a rear tire!
Yep, there are probably better tires out there but when you combine handling+miles+comfort+confidence...., this non-professional, wifelovestoride, realworld, public highway driver, lifetime rider wouldn't even consider another contact with the concrete.
Live to ride!

These tires came stock on my 08 triumph bonneville
- TON UP JOE from Jefferson township,PAGreat tire, what else can I say. Great traction on wet or dry roads. They do wear quick but I agree with Matt from an hour outside St. Louis, MO. I would also rather have a soft sticky tire than a hard one. You might get better wear with a harder tire but not worth the increase in odds to wipe out.

Buying my second set.
- David from Atlanta, GaBought the Lazertech set for my older GS 750. I do a lot of hwy riding, long trips, etc... and these tires are never a concern. The only time I think about them is when the conditions get bad, or when riding through turning twisting roads. That's when it is obvious I made the right choice. These tires slice through the rain downpours in Mobile, Al, and really stick to the turns in the N Georgia mountains. They do wear rather quickly, mostly due to the soft compund. And cost a few dollars more than most. Wouldn't recommend riding these tires on a gravel rd, they would go quickly... Ran across this site while shopping for my second rear tire, and will purchase today. The front is good for another season, but will probably buy another "set" next year. Bottom line; Great tire. Rear good for one season, front good for two.

R1200C + front lasertecs
- david from BC, CanadaI am sure that many riding forums deal with the tire question BUT I replaced a metzleler with the upgraded lasertec and have found it to be a serious sporting tire, a cut above the last metzeler. The BMW R1200C is a sport-cruiser. Mine has an upgraded bitubo front end so it is far more responsive than an average BMW (which stock, is already pretty damned nice).
Short story is the lasertec conveys tons of road information, is terribly sticky with the most aggressive riding I can dish out. Since I'm on the wet coast (BC) I do significant wet asphalt riding. Lasertecs? With my abs I never doubt them. I am always going to be the weakest link. They seem to wear just fine... especially close to the side-wall, where we love to be.
ps. if you are from metzeler's marketing dept...I would be happy to take some free swag... in the form of a few more lasertecs

Lastertecs aren't all that
- Steen from St. Paul, MN USAI purchased a pair of these tires and the rear didn't last at all. I only got half a season (about 2000 miles) out of the rear. They're over priced and not worth it. The front on the other hand is holding up just fine.
O another thing the front tire had developed a slash on the sidewall 100 miles in. It was almost an 1/8" deep by 4" long! And I'm not a bar brawler so no enemies of mine did it. Luckily I bought it from a dealer and they replaced it at no additional cost.
In conclusion buy the Macadams if you ride an Airhead BMW.

Metzler Lasertec 90/90-21 front tire
- Matt from an hour outside St. Louis, MOThis tire is awesome!! Maybe the best tire I've ever had on the front of my bike. Absolutely amazing on wet roads,, and really, really grips well on dry pavement
I ride a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWG) so the front tire is a skinny one. I'd say I'm an aggressive rider, I know I'm not on a sport bike,, but I take these backwoods Missouri roads on my Dyna faster than I probably should.. find myself scraping my bootheels a lot ;)
For a big twin,, you can lean a Dyna pretty far
I ran this tire on a tip from an old biker friend of mine and I have been very happy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it wears quickly.
I have about 7500 miles on it now and it is pretty close to being done. It should go past 8,000 miles a bit. Even with it being worn down pretty far,, I can still hook a good curve like an idiot, and feel comfortable cruising at 80(or higher) on the interstate
To me, I do not mind a tire that wears fast because I'd rather have the grip of a soft tire than spin out and wreck on a hard tire,, just because the hard tire should last longer
