Re: Metzeler Mez 3 Any good?
Have a read of this thread first.
General view, mine included, is the Mez4 is just nasty especially when half worn. Much much better tyres available now, Avon Storms probably the best bang for buck at present.

Re: Metzeler Mez 3 Any good?
I ran Z3's and liked them, but as embee said, tyres have improved since they came on the scene, I'v got storms on and I love them so far.

Re: Metzeler Mez 3 Any good?
Mez 3s are ancient, they used to be considered good sticky tyres but that was before my time... But that's not to say they're bat. Only thing I'd wonder about is how old your pair is- tyres have a set lifespan and those have been out of production for a long time I think.

Re: Metzeler Mez 3 Any good?
Z3 was the sportier tyre, so should be better than the Z4. it was the predecessor of the Sportec M1 I believe.
