    Fitted the Z6 Interact tires around 4000km ago and they're still as good as they were when they were worn in. I've ridden them through the New Zealand winter and they offer ots of grip in the wet and loose shingle that they spread on NZ roads during the icier months. Can't wait to give them a good thrashing over the summer!

    I've had the Metzeler Roadtec Z6's (not the Interact version) on a TDM900 and a BMW K1200RS and the tyre has been excellent on both. The BMW will cause a bit of slip if you gun the throttle in second in the wet (I think most tyres would) but other than that it's great.

    The difference in handling on the BMW over the fitted 020's was incredible. It's turned the bike into a much more rideable one, it seems like a different bike to me.

    Wear is good on both bikes, not having wear indicators in the ...

    I've tried Z6, Bt-020, BT-021, PR2 in the sport touring class, with Pan European 1300, FJR 1300 and GTR 1400. I think they're the better tyres in overal.

    They lack a bit of grip in dry and hot roads comparing to BT-020, BT-021 or PR2, but they're the best in the wet, they're very confident and the stability at high speed is superb. The all new Z6 INTERACT will be placed tomorrow in my GTR 1400. With more 35% of silica, they should be the BEST.

    I'm not sure what you guys have been doing but I have Roadtecs on my YZF600 and they are TERRIBLE! Sure some tires are better for some bikes than other but these absolutely stink for the YZF! The other day in the rain at low speeds it nearly dropped it 3 times. And I mean low speeds. I've owned probably more than a dozen bikes in my life, with over 2 decades of riding experience and have tried many, many brands of tires. This is the second set of Metzlers I've owned (the first ones were by choic ...

    I have had these tyres on my honda hornet 900 for the last year and a half during which time they have covered a total of approximately eighteen thousand kilometers of trips to moto gp events of one thousand six hundred kilometers and world superbike events of one thousantd two hundred kilometers plus the weekend trips on mountain roads with twisties that never fail to put a grin on your face. the chicken strips on these tyres is less than one centimeter wide up to the head of the elephant on t ...

    The Metzeler Roadtec Z6 is a hard wearing tyre but in my opinion inferior to the Bridgestone 020 in the wet when fitted to the BMW RT. I think the rear needs more grooves on its centre. Then they could also apply wear indicators.

    I've always had performance tyres on my 06 r1 but due to travelling 500kms per week started to get expensive the Metzeler Roadtec are great in dry conditions and lasts a lot longer than sport tyres easily....
    When your doing 1000kms a fortnight this is a great alternative to sport/performance tyres. Took time to get confident on them though so far I reckon you can probably get double the kms compared to sport tyres!

    I think these tyres could do with a tread indicator in middle section. You don't know when tyre life is expired. Happened twice to me, so I paid for these tyres just to be caught out.

    I've only done 900 miles on the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 so far but they don't look to have lost anything. I replaced my Dunlop d208's which were much stickier but not as grippy. Sounds weird I know but I've done the sames speeds round the same corners on both tyres and on powering out the d208's slide out way earlier than the Z6's well pleased so far just the initial layout was expensive.

    Almost 11,000 miles and I still have some tread left. Granted they are a bit flat but they still have good rubber on them.

    The Metzeler Roadtec Z6 Tyre seems to give approx 12000km on rear on BMW at mostly 180km touring speeds. I suggest Metzeler changes design to incorporate just a few tread depth indicators. It would save many stranded bikers shouting abuse at back tyres! Until then I will not be replacing with the same tyre. I can play safe and replace now, but I don't like wasting tyre life/mileage just because I cannot guess residual tyre life.

    I ride a 1200 Bandit, with plenty of mods for power. The Metzeler Roadtec Z6 tyres are more then up for the job, and even better they have a long life span.
