    Hey

    Annoyingly I’ve a puncture after 600 miles :-( So out goes the Super Corsas on the RR.

    I’m off for my first service soon, and the hopefully off for a 6 day trip from the midlands, to Germany.
    Knowing this. Do I get

    Road 6
    M9rr
    Roadtec

    Prefer sporty over hyper miles. But I’d perfer to get back from Germany with a tyre (rear), that’ll do the rest of summer riding.

    I can't comment on any of those specifically but having run Road 4 and 5's, which are currently on my 1050 RS, I have had no problems with grip or mileage from the Michelins. Highly recommended :grinning:

    A puncture can be plugged, done it many times. No need to throw away a good tyre. but a supercorsa won't get enough miles for a tour. Stick a road 6 on for your tour and keep that supercorsa and plug it for when the road 6 is done.

    Bought some Road 6 -

    I've never had 'road tyres' before. The least sporty tyres Iv'e had is a MRR. So I'll be interesting to feel the grip on a nice sunny day round the twisty roads :)

    Personally I would go with the Metzeler. Mine seem to grip well on a trackday and lasting well.

    Hi BT81, I can recommend the Metzler M9rr tyres for the journey you describe, I recently fitted a pair to my sons Suzuki Katana 1000 and they transformed the handling and grip considerably. I only run by STRS 765 on Supercorsa or Racetech RRs, however they would not last the sort of mileage you describe, the M9rr will make the ride height very slightly higher due to the profile, however you will still be able to get both feet flat on the ground. The mileage is really good on the M9rr tyres and they offer fantastic grip levels wet or dry. Hope this helps.

    Too late ! :-(
    I bought the Road 6 prior to the two messages.
    I'm pretty happy that I'll be able to get a shuffle on the Road 6 on the twisty roads.

    I’ve got Road 5’s on my 1050RS, a little different turn in I thought but you soon get used to that. Highly recommend them. The 6 should be even better I guess.
