Anybody done a trackday on Metzler road attacks?

Anybody done a trackday on Metzler road attacks? As I fitted these, not knowing I was going to do a trackday, but now I am.

Do you mean conti road attacks or Metz Z6's ?

Cheers Mark.

I suppose the answer then is no .

Continental Road Attacks
Metzeler Road Tec

Two different but similar tyres .

As mentiond 2 different tyres, pick one but the answer will be similar. Plenty of grip up to a point but neither are built as a full-on sports tyre.

Did a couple of track days on the Bridgestone 020 tyres on the bandit 600 which would be about equivelent and was fine. On the first few trackdays it most likley you will be the limiting factor not the tyres

Sorry I got mixed up there conti road attacks.

Unless you are a riding God. They will be fine.

I did a trackday on Roadtecs if that's any use. They were better on a cold, damp track than all the super-sticky stuff that the track bikes were wearing, but when it dried out they weren't so good. Cornering was fine, as long as I didn't try and do it too fast (in the hairpin, they'd lean as far as I wanted but if I dropped it in hard it'd slide) but straight line braking was a wee bit of an issue. ie, crashed a bit That was my fault for outriding the grip available, won't blame the tyres, but there was waaaaay less grip there than I'd have like to have for the hairpin and chicane at Knockhill.

I did get to make a fool out of a guy on a 636 with rennsports on in one of the dry sessions. Quote "I can't keep up with that SV in tehe back section, I've only got Rennsports, not slicks". His mates noticed my tractor tyres at just about that exact moment

Personally, I don't intend to do another trackday with a Roadtec front. They did fantastically well considering they're sport-touring tyres that'll outlast 3 Sportecs, they're just not meant for it. Probably get a Sportec M1 on my spare front wheel. The savings I make by using Roadtecs on the road more than paid for a spare wheel and tyre after a year

Put it this way though, to give it some perspective... I'd sooner have Roadtecs all year and do an occasional trackday on Roadtecs, than have Sportecs all year.

Thanks for the advice.

Joe.

What sort of mileage do you think a Sportec M1 will get with general road riding? My mate has just fitted one to the front of his 600 Monster...
