Best Motorcycle Tires for 2024 P4 of 6

Road: The Roadtec 02 aims to be a super-sport-touring tire. At normal to brisk speeds, it feels more sluggish than its competitors, but it rewards sporty riding with good feedback, grip, and straight-line stability. However, this comes at the expense of agility. Noticeable pitch moment during braking. Wet: On the wet handling track, the Metzeler Roadtec 02 delivers. Although it also prefers a wider arc, it offers excellent wet grip and a wide limit range. Plus, it achieves the shortest braking distance. Wear: The Metzeler wears slightly above average and cannot differentiate itself from the competition here. The changes in handling characteristics from new to used remain manageable, making the Roadtec 02 a reliable companion. Conclusion: A tire with good straight-line stability. Particularly sporty riders will be able to explore its advantages. The wet grip is excellent. In everyday use, however, the sluggish handling is somewhat bothersome. Overall: Good..
