Suzuki GSX S1000 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE given 97% (190-55-17-)

Rear tire fitted to gsx s1000f. Done 10k touring/fast touring miles. Overall impressive with the tire, with just occasional slide grips on very fast sharp bends (but always kept get the grip back!). Done also fast mountains roads in wet, felt as on dry (but that depends on the road surface). Covered me trips through 20 countries overall! Never had a front, so can't say (I've run through BT 23 & M9 RR and both can highly recommend for road use).

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Road 4 given 84% (190-50-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Used on a Suzuki gsx s1000 for approximately 2000 miles for touring duties and weekend fun. Replaced the awful in the wet factory Dunlops. Dry grip: is quite good for what the tire is designed for. They will slip a little on their side if provoked but are progressive and controlled. Wet: what this tire excells at and probably the best you'll buy, no issues. Handling: The steering is neutral. Feedback: Not the best on warm days as the tread pattern causes movement. Braking: just for comparison i tested against a triumph Street triple 765rs wearing super corsa sp from 60-0mph full abs at 20c tires warmed to road temperature. On both occasions there was no notable difference between the two for braking on dry tarmac at least. Wear: Started with 6.7mm and is now sitting at 5mm at the rear after 2000 miles. Good choice if you don't like replacing tires often. Conclusion: A tire well suited for UK climate and probably all the tire you will need. However on replacement i will go for a sportier Michelin for better feedback and quicker steering.
