Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review

[D6Nutz]

I was well impressed with them at donnigton how they looked and felt. I think I will be investing in some of these.

They're worth it IMO. I've got a set on the RSV, best tyre I've had on it so far.

[Kwacky]

You done 3000 miles on them already. Wow what's your annual mileage.

About 10,000

[D6]

I've been told I need new tyres. I was thinking of maybe trying these. With how quick I ruin the centre though, I'm not sure I want to unless they last a decent distance.

I've done 9800 miles this year (and that was with a long spell off in the winter), basically 350miles a week minimum.

I would like a tyre that can last for at least 4000miles.

[Kwacky]

Mine look like they've easily got another 1,000 miles in them.

Not to pee on Kwackys thread but I went for these and I think Bratty has the same http://www.dunlop.eu/dunlop_euen/mc/tyr ... art_II.jsp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"Rear Multi-Tread for outstanding mileage"
" A premium sport touring tyre, combining the all-round attributes required, together with improved mileage"

I was thinking, yesterday acutally if I could stay with Dunlops and just get a new rear. The front is still ok.

Would there be an issue mixing those with a Dunlop qualifier (i think that's what I have).

I know you aren't meant to mix manufacturers, but is that down to profiles etc?

you shouldnt mix different compounds

[Kwacky]

Can you start a new thread please? I want to keep this one on topic for ease of reference.

[Spudda]

Consider it done ... I'll start one tomorrow

[Kwacky]

4000 miles and 3 trackdays. Not bad.

[Perkles]

and they hardly look worn ,mine are starting to square off now I think my next set will be M7rrs as they seem to also work really well on track

[Kwacky]

If you get a set in autumn you'll be able to ride all winter on them

sod that im a fair weather biker only

[D6]

4000 miles is pretty good.

[Kwacky]

22,212 miles on the clock when I pulled up tonight, I'll be hitting 5,000 on them tomorrow. Not bad.

The tyres haven't squared off at all.

I am getting close to the wear indicators so I'll be getting a new rear next month. The front looks good.

[Kwacky]

Into the wear indicators now. No handling issues and not squaring off.

[D6]

I still haven't bought any. I do fancy giving these tyres a go, but keep putting off the expense until I can find them cheap. addison wanted 235 plus 15 per wheel fitting. Wheel house offered me free fitting but dont have these....

[Kwacky]

They're a new tyre and very popular so I think you'll be struggling to get a discount on these.

If you mention wheel house offering you free fitting, then Addisons will price match

[Kwacky]

Time to order a new rear tyre. You can tell it's gone off. It feels a bit dull, there's less feedback so it's a bit of a vague ride. That said it's still rideable. I've had no issues with it but I'm comparing it to the tyre when it was good,

I'm well into the tyre indicators.

I'll work out the total mileage when the new one is one but I've certainly had my money from them.
