New Tyres Needed Any Recommendations For My Multistada 1200 Dvt Please

mitchelin road 5 tyres mate, ive got them on my fireblade at the moment, they really are cracking

 

I agree with Cookster, the Mich Road 5 are great, whilst an alternative that is just as good is the Metz MT01. It just depends on which you can get the best deal on at the time.

 

Yes mate they are a touring tyre. I put them on my blade as I was using in all weather and touring the North on it come May time.

 

Same tyre. There is now a road 6 variant. I’m on 3rd set of Rd5 and they’re a great all rounder in the dry and one of the best in the wet.

 

metzeler roadtec 01

 

Had a few sets of road5s but was only getting 2.5k out of rear and 1 side of front would wear more, so decided to give metzeler M9rr a go and love them

 

Single spirited riding, 2 up spirited riding and touring with luggage ..... oh fairly spirited too the wife loves a quicky

 

Regards Knightriders post, as I never ride with pillion, mostly without luggage other than my once a year break(1000-2000miles) I get 5/6000+ out of a set of Road 5’s.
I’m changing to a new set within next 4 weeks and will be posting a full wear rate chart for those interested in how the Rd5’s have worn over time since last change.

 

IME, the sort of mileage you will get from an M9RR will be about half what you are currently. It’ll grip right to the edge but tyre life is not one of its strengths. My 2p’s worth, the Metzeler Roadtec 01SE, I’m enthusiastic, I ride solo, I scratch, I tour and I’m an IAM RS observer. Good mileage for me is about 4000 and I change front and rear at the same time.

Great tyre, been using them for years. Might try the Pirelli Angel GT2 next though just for the sake of comparison.

 

Has anyone tried the new Road6 or am I a bit presumptuous?
Not sure they’ve been out long enough for any report..
