Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Metzeler Roadtec 02 190-55-17- BMW K1300R 3,100 miles February 1, 2025

The Roadtec 02 gave me a new bike with really good feeling, grip, comfort and quietness. My bike has a of lot power, 175 hp, and torque, 140 Nm so I was interested in how it would wear and after + 5.000 km = 3.100 miles there is still a round profile from side to side. The grip on curvy roads and spirited driving is very good and gives me a lot of trust, I have also noticed that they build up heat fast for good grip. When it is time for new tires I will chose the same.

Changed from Roadsmart IV and Road 6 and they were noisy, hard, had bad feeling and tricky grip even on dry warm roads.
