V4 Metzeler Roadtec S02 - In Stock ?

I wasn't that impressed but it might be down to the extra weight of my V4 Pikes Peak. I have a part worn pair with less 1000 miles if you want to try them. Andy

 

@Ian_H
I just got a rear replacement tyre for next season. I'll get into that in a moment.
More to your thread topic, my tyre dealer said in passing that Pirelli rotates its production in cycles.
Sometimes they're not available for months. Since Metzeler is a sister company, it may be the same.
I picked up an Angel GT to match my front tyre which is still passable. I may change it as well.
It's also a good time to buy, (at least here in Canada) as the prices are going up significantly in January 2025.
About the GT: they lasted more than 12,000 kms and are still fine to end this year's riding season. They're not even squared-up although I should not be surprised as I don't tour. I only ride very twisty 50~80kph posted limit back roads (with lots of 90 degree stuff).
I was also concerned that the GT's would no longer be in production since superseded by the GT2 but that's not the case.
My new Angel GT is dated 2024. I was told that the GT and GT2 are not for the same purpose. The GT is more for dry tarmac whereas the GT2 is more of an all-weather sport touring tyre. Had the GT no longer been in production, my next goto was going to also be a Metzeler as yourself but it's going to be the ROADTEC™ 01 SE.

 

Out of interest , what mileage did you get and how did the tyres feel towards the end . Thanks

 

I was told very recently that the Roadtec 02 have not passed the German TUV yet so nothing in Europe being made.

 

Each size/vehicle application has its own TUV approval I believe. These are GS sizes too. This is info i was given from Two Tyres.
