Tyre size:
What tyre size do you require?
The exact size of a tyre can be found on its sidewall.
The following chart shows you how to read a tyre size.
1. Overall tire width in mm
2. Ratio of tire height to tire width in%
3. Tire design: ''R'' = radial tires (widely used), ''D'' or ''-'' = diagonal tires (rare)
4. Required rim diameter for this tire in inches
5. Key figure for tire load capacity
6. Key figure for the permissible maximum speed (speed index)
7. Motorcycle tire identification, tires only approved for motorcycles
8. DOT labeling
9. Date of manufacture of the tire (week of production / year of production)
 
/
SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.

As a Bloodbiker I ride in all areas and in all weathers. I had learned before I started this that the Metzeler tyre was excellent in both wet and dry conditions. the effect is that you are always riding the same bike with the same performance characteristics - on previous bikes it felt that i was riding a different bike whenever it rained compared to when it was dry. On aa advanced skills training day, one of the instructors ran up to check what tyres I had fitted as he was surprised at the way my bike handled and could stop in shorter distances than most of the other bikes. On my main bike, this is now the fourth or fifth set I have fitted, and when I bought another bike, there was no doubt in what tyres I had fitted straight away, with these being the automatic choice for my daughter's bike too.

Using Metzler tyres on my bike gives me confidence whatever the weather. Too many other brands behave differently in the wet vs dry - it can be like having two different bikes on the same journey. You don't sacrifice longevity with the Metzler either, with 9-12,000 miles per set (15,000km+. That's better than some other brands.). Their latest compound seems to have gone back to what they used a few years ago and the grip quality has improved (it had been deteriating over the last couple of versions - still better than other makes, but not the same as they made 5-6 years ago. As I volunteer to deliver blood products, I'm out in all weathers, throughout the year, so the performance of my tyres is vitally important. the Meltzer's do deliver!

On my second set of Z8s, they don't fail to impress, good alround tyre

Great tyre if you don't mind replacing often. Grips great in hot weather but wears out quicker in cold weather.

very good tyre ,excellent I must say, a bit pricey but worth every penny
03.09.2020 from florin
after the previous set that was metzeler roadtec 01 I have return to Michelin Pilot road 5 because they last a bit longer even though I've spent extra £50 . excellent tyre
01.09.2020 from Chris Stav
Extremely good in dry conditions. A bit of a "twich" a couple of times round bends in the wet but quickly corrected. They are comfortable and good mileage ( these are my second set). Still cannot get rid of the last 1 inch chicken strip - never had these problem with the Pirelli Angel - I blame the profile :-) Very good tyres. Second pair so far... no more to say
24.03.2020 from Rory McFarlane
I’ve ridden on many tyres but I thought I’d spend a bit more and get the Michelin road 5, I first went out when it was pouring with rain and I was astounded! The level of grip was unbelievable, the lean angle you can get was incredible, just like riding in the dry, I’m always hard on the brakes (comes from track racing) and believe me you can get the back wheel off the floor in the wet, don’t just whack them on the let the suspension compress first. Anyway enough rattling on, Amazing road tyres 👍

Very dissapointed. Tires arrived bumpy. Front tire felt like tractor tire, shipped it back to mitas slovenia, they sent another one (less bumpy) but still bad.
16.04.2023 from Sebastjan
no complaints, the tire is more than great for the money. the handling of the motorcycle is satisfactory both in the wet and in the dry.. the rear tire lasted about 9500 km of quite wild driving in wet and dry conditions.. even on the highway over 200 km/h it is very stable.. the front tire would have lasted a few more km..

07.02.2025 from David Bennett
I fitted these tyres after a Scotland trip with the existing trail type tyres, a couple of front end twitches and countless times the traction control kicked in even just on damp roads. With these tyres fitted a mix of high speed touring across France and Swiss alpine passes, prior to which some weekend riding with mates on sports bikes. Adjusted the fork preload and the tyres performed impeccably, even the day we had monsoon like rain. I had already sorted the pressures to my liking which were 36 front and 38 rear, with or without full luggage. The bike has limited adjustment on the suspension but only required a few clicks on the rear between fully loaded and rider only. I’ve always ridden sports bikes until recently but my worries about grip handling the tight switchbacks on such a heavy bike were very quickly dispelled, No real signs of wear yet I’ll have to see how they do for longevity, but no hesitation at buying these tyres again. I have Avon sport tyres on my Honda VTR SP1 and these tyres give the same feedback and a very comfortable ride. Front 110/80R19. Rear 150/70ZR17

Great feedback, responsive turning, easy to change direction Not had tyres long enough to rate wear or wet.
18.11.2024 from A Nonny
I've been riding 39 years, Still lovin it & still pulling the trigger. If a K1600 bangs past you It's probably me and wife. The tyres have been great over almost 3000km this summer in UK & ireland (a lot of 2-up with luggage) with no sign of flatfacing yet. We will see how long they last .The best we've had so far on our BMW tourer. "pricey but nicey"
24.09.2024 from Mark Foley
Absolutely fantastic. Squared off at 6000kms but loads of tread left. Total confidence in the wet and the dry.
11.07.2023 from Colin
These tyres handle anything, I've even done a track day with them knee down no problem and showing very little ware.

This tyre is amazing, it provides dry and wet grip in abundance. It provides a wear consistentancy through the tyres life that drops very little. I also trackday this tyre and its calmness and predictability at the limit is great. I haven’t found an all round tyre to match it yet.
13.10.2022 from Paul Church
Banking right over, this tyre gives great confidence. Got the stronger side walled tyre for my heavy 630lb BMW K bike Angel GT is super sticky! Would definitely buy again.

I’ve been using these tyres for a few years now. I’m on my 4th pair. Why change to an unknown when I’m 90% happy with what I already use? In terms of value for money, these tyres can’t be beaten. They’re cheaper than other premium brands AND I get better mileage out of them. On my bike the rear wears out just before the front. There’s not much in it so I always replace front and rear at the same time. The tyres wear evenly across the width, with a barely noticeable right-side bias due to U.K. road camber. Grip, wet or dry, is good but most importantly they just “feel right” all the time. The only negative I can think of is that they slide readily on tar overbanding where a road has been repaired. So I pick my line through corners carefully if there’s any overbanding about. Occasionally I still hit some, but it’s just a short distance slide until the tyre grips again on the road surface. No drama. I’m sure there are better tyres to be had but for a big, heavy bike (and rider!) ridden like I ride these are more than good enough.
19.12.2018 from Frank
The stock fitted tyres were bad for following defects in the road and provided very uncertain grip in the wet. The Avon replacements sorted the handling in the dry and greatly improved confidence in the wet as well. The handling is more responsive and sportier riding is possible. Street twin riders, these tyres are perfect for you.
30.03.2015 from Jon Vaines
everything about this tyre was brilliant EXEPT the weaving, even letting go of the handlebars with one hand was scarey, i have now replaced my tyres and this front shake has stopped, i believe the center field cuts on the storm create this wobble, it could the 19 is just to large,they are in my garage doing nothing, if anyone wants to test them, they can have them..
