Metzler track tire ?
Any info on the Metzler Race tec K 1&2.

Looking at a set now, any info is appreciated.

Had the Michelin Power race Med/Med and liked them just wanted to try something different. You don't know if you will like them until you try them, but don't want to be a guinnea pig either.

Re: Metzler track tire ?
took the free k1 front and k2 rear to pahrump for two days of fun in january. they are awesome. got a little cold tear, but the grip was great. the bike just railed on the tires. i've got two more sets in the garage. i highly recommend them.

Re: Metzler track tire ?
Basically the tire is manufactured on the Pirelli MIRS machine just like the Diablo Corsas. This makes the carcass lighter and more consistent. The tread is compounded similar to a Supercorsa. So you get a longer wearing, almost as sticky Supercorsa for a little less $$. Go with the supersoft front and soft rear and you should be set!

Mind you, these are more track oriented than Diablo Corsas, they have very little tread siped on them. Not for street use.
