And I’m now very happy with the Metzeler 01 SEs.
Carpe Diem!

I had new 01 SE's fitted a couple of weeks ago. It could all be in my head, but I found the Z8's quite unstable. Almost the first thing I did with the 01SE's was a slow control workshop and I had way more confidence with the SEs. I kept the Z8's as they only had 3k on them and very little wear but no doubt I'll find them in the garage in a couple of years and think why the hell did I keep these? |

I installed a set of these on my Son's 2017 S1000R and would say that I am quite impressed with them considering the cost of them compared to our go to favorite, the Michelin Road 5. Time will tell how they hold up and work in the wet, but they seem to be a significant improvement over the OEM fitted Bridgestone "hypersport" S31 tires which were more sport touring than anything else in the "hypersport" line from Bridgestone. A little online research indicated that many OEM tires fitted are not the same as a similar branded replacement consumer tire and this certainly seems the case for the OEM fitted wheels, we were never very impressed with them, they were just "ok" and did last over 6,000 miles which would be another great indication that the "hypersport" branding was just that....branding... |

Zitat von BMWSandman im Beitrag #20 you sure they were S31 Hypersport? The Hypersport range are S21 or S22. I have the S21 on my S1000XR. I am on my second set and they are very grippy and last about 3500 miles. Quite bit cheaper than the S22 which are allegedly superior but if it ain't broke, why change, especially if it costs more? Nothing comes up on google for S31 tyres. my S1000XR was shipped from the factory with T31 sport touring tyres. I did about 3000 miles on these, as they were part worn when I bought the bike second hand. They were okay but did not give you the confidence of the S21 tyre when chasing after a KTM Super Duke 1300. I would expect T31 to last 6-7000 miles.

Not sure to be honest, those tires are gone off to recycling.....But S22 sounds right now that you mention it....The new T32 tires are very nice as I stated though. |

Zitat von BMWSandman im Beitrag #22 wouldn't be S22 fitted in the factory to a 2017 bike as they were not a thing until 2019/20. I'm not sure S21 were a thing in 2017, so maybe even a predecessor ... it was 4 years ago
