SPORTEC M5 INTERACT

They have good traction and feel with low-displacement, low-horsepower bikes. From 600cc onwards, grip leaves much to be desired. I also had a rear tire with a manufacturing defect that wasn't recognized as such and no compensation was accepted. Customer service is truly poor...

Came with my 2008 CBR1000RR absolutely hate them!

Use on my r1 several time bcoz its cheaper then other n more mileage i guess. Still using now maybe 3rd or 4th.
Daily ride shuttle to my office 100km daily. Ride quite fast from suburb to town via hiway n traffic jam. Ride 200+kmh on hiway. M5 stick good when lean n u will not waste the tire edge. White line will affect to your handing especially after several thousand miles used for center of tire. Edge quite good stick.
But For me its quite good on hot day but just ok during wet/rainy day. Rear tyre spin some time on wet road when hi speed. But, Yea i guess m5 better mileage & price compared to contimotion i use before. Already stop using conti motion.
Mm. Now im looking for other higher mileage n stick good when lean on hot day. ✌️

Wear out too quickly and defects
These came with my new 2018 KTM Duke 390, the rear tire showed belts on the first season i used them at maybe a bit over 5000km, in the middle of a trip when i was in Gaspe, i was not happy. Changed it for a Bridgestone Batllax.
2nd season on the front and they are finished now. The front is also showing some weird bulges in areas (defect?) but the wear pattern overal looks even althouh tread is near finished.
Also i always checked pressure levels as i do a lot of touring and wanted these tires to last but they simply do not. I have no idea how they get so many good reviews, but for me these were teriible! Maybe there's a difference with the ones that come from a OEM with the bike vs the ones you buy, don't know.
Bottom line, they do offer grip but last a ridiculous short amount of time, i will never buy a set of Metzeler because of this and can not recommend them.

Fitted to a BMW K1300S just back from the Alps. The M5 Front tyre absolutely no grip in tight turns in the wet. Lots of 'pushing wide'. Very sensitive to broken surfaces. Rear tyre 190/55 ZR 17 spins up in the wet and on road lines. Carcass seems far too hard and stiff even for a heavy bike. Very bad for riding confidence - Avoid.
