Default Metzeler Sportec M-3's

Are these a bump up from the M-1's? I had the M-1's on my R6 and loved them, these dunlops are for shit I just want to know if these are any good. Anyone had personal experiences or close friends/riders experience with them?

jus read an article on them and they r supposed to be basically the same as the m-1 with better tread life.

should be good... i don't think you can really go wrong sticking with metzler, pirelli, or michelin... bridgestone/dunlop/and others people love or hate, but i can't think of hardly anyone that disliked the italian and french rubber company's stuff

Yeah, that's the only difference I got when reading about both of them, but a person's personal experience with them usually says it all. I might try'em out.

Yeah, if i had to pick anything to blame my little fuck up on besides myself and oil slick roads, it would have to be that fuckin 208

I don't know what they go for on the net, but pilot powers retail for like $8 less than M3's, I figure they should be about the same or slightly cheaper everywhere.

Yeah, i saw them on a site when i was lookin at tires. I may have been mistaken.

Anyhow, Bret, do you know where I can buy/get the huge posters/wall scrolls that the dealerships get, the ones made of a heavy kind of plastic rather than a regular paper poster. I'd like to get one with Rossi in a lean, but after searching the net, I cant seem to find exactly what i want. The dealership said they dont sell them, that they come straight from the factory
