ROADTEC 01 SE

The Roadtech01 SE tires perform well in all conditions. I've used them for 16,000 km so far. They're particularly effective and soft in the rain. I really like them, but they're expensive.

I installed my tires on March 10, 2025. I bought them as a set of front and rear tires. The tires give a sense of safety in difficult conditions. In my personal opinion, they have very good grip in rainy road conditions because they give great results when the tires are washed with rainwater.
I bought it a bit expensive, but it is a tire that gives value for money. Would I buy it again? If my budget allows, YES, I would buy the Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE tire again. The country I use it in is Türkiye. The production date is DOT 4224.

Fitted brand new Roadtec on my Miltistrada 1200s. Handling on dry was just perfect, sharp corners, fast coreners, feedback from the road just perfect. But, terrible grip on wet or dusty or any other non-pure-tarmac road. Lasted for about 10k km, with agressive style, 180km/h speeds, wheelie etc. But than, having around 1mm yet to wear started to get wholes in tyre from any small piece of stone on road. Had 4 wholes during my last trip in mountains, and had to swap imeediately in the middle of nowhere.
Overall nice tyre, for perfect roads only. Wouldn't sugest for those who plan to have long trips.

Rear tyre fitted to gsx s1000f. Done 10k touring/fast touring miles. Overall impressive with the tyre, 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).

I've just put a pair of these (120 x 70 x 17 front, 170 x 60 x 17 rear) on a 1996 Kawasaki GPZ1100 to replace Metzler Roadtec Z6. The bike is transformed, at 142kg dry it's no lightweight, it's always felt on the heavy side particularly at low speed, I was running the Z6 front tyre over recommended pressure to lighten the steering, at recommended pressure the steering was really heavy with very noticeable counter steering effort required to get it to lean, not nice. With these fitted and at recommended pressure the steering is light, the ride is much improved, much smoother, it tips into corners effortlessly without thinking about counter steering. Low speed handling is way lighter, and the front is noticeably quieter. It's like a different bike, in a good way. Dry grip is excellent, I've not driven with them in the wet so can't comment, and not had them long enough to comment on wear. Would I buy them again? Unless they wear quickly or some other anomaly appears with use, yes definitely.
