New Metzeler Rennsport road tyres, never fitted - SV650.org

northwind · 14-03-08, 11:42 PM

Still got these to sell, note that neither is the standard SV size, they're supersport fitment- front is 120/70, rear is 180/55. But they'll fit SV thous and some modified SVs just fine, or basically every race rep 600, 750 or 1000 made for a decade.

Are these good tyres? I don't know, I never fitted them

But on paper they are, which is why I bought them! Rennsports were Metzeler's previous model race tyres, and these are the road-biased compound. I've heard it said that they're about the equivalent of a Pirelli Supercorsa which would make sense- these are very sticky road tyres, or very durable track tyres, depending on how you look at it. I got them for trackdays as I ride there and back, and since I wanted a tyre that can deal well with heat cycles. Unfortunately circumstances changed and fast trackdays are off the menu for a couple of years, so these are spare.

I'm looking for ?120 delivered in the UK or ?100 if you can collect from Edinburgh, EH14.
