- Metzeler Sportec M7 RR Tires Review
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/me...
The Metzeler Sportec M7 RR Tires are built for riders who require a tire as versatile as the roads they traverse. It’s hard to predict what kind of roads you might encounter on any given ride, and the Sportec M7 RR Tires’ tread pattern design and compound provides riders with additional, top-of-the-line security from the elements. Additional features of the Metzeler Sportec M7 RR Tires include their extended mileage and sporty handling. - Авто та транспорт
I would never put it between Pilot Power and Pilot Roads. In my opinion the M7 RR is way superior than the Pilot Power 3. For me it sits between Diablo Rosso II and Rosso Corsa ( closer to The Rosso II thought ). The M7`s strong point is grip in the wet due to the silica compound. I've ridden these tires pretty hard in the wet with no drama at all and very safe in very wet conditions. Dry grip is just Phenomenal. I live in Brazil in a very hot state with tropical rain. Rear lasts around 7.500 km pushing hard and front will go way above 10.000 km.
Would you prefer these over the Rosso Corsa 2?
@@davidsixside769 I'm on my second pair of Rosso Corsa 2, now with a zx6r 636. Best balance between mileage and performance.
How the hell do you get that much mileage out of them, do you still ride them with almost no profile?
@@tmrthiago thanks. I ended up with the Rosso Corsa 2a
@@davidsixside769 phenomenal tyre. Enjoy your ride.
These tyres came with the '14 mt09 I purchased second hard. I used them during my license test which was under heavy rain conditions. I felt confident riding with these tyres in the wet on a bike I wasn't fully yet comfortable on. I used to rock the Michelin road 5s on my old bike, they are also very solid and great for rain but the road 6s are out now and even better.
I have a 160 on the back of my 2011 FZ6R. It was the tire the previous owner had put on. Front is a Dunlop. Needless to say, I'll be sticking an M7RR on the front this spring as well as putting another on the rear.
Fantastic tire - it's saved me a few times last summer in the hills of WV.
I use this tyre on my 01 R6 and its rock solid! Great grip in the wet!
These tires work very well on my 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ABS (Z1000SX). Excellent dry grip, nice compliance on rough roads. Linear steering, they neither fall into turns not feel truck-ish. Good front end feel. Overall, they are very trustworthy!
Excellent review and cemented my decision on buying a set.
Awesome tires, work great for track days as well!
These tires work great on my 07' gsxr 600 for the street. Had Michelin pilot2ct's on it b4. These are lasting much longer and the grip is phenomenal.
I'm looking at getting these for my 02 gsxr 600, I had the m5s on my 750 and loved them. You've cemented my opinion.
This is my third set of M7rr best tyre for my S1000rr had the rosso 3’s and they didn’t last no time.
Also to add these tyres had been designed for the TT road race so wet, dry & less than great surfaces these will inspire confidence.
M7’s much better than pilot road 4’s as the pilot road 4’s wear very uneven and make your bike feel unstable .
M7 rr no brainer if you own a sports bike or other in the uk .
Probably great every where else too love em !
Thanks for your feedback. I was deciding between these and Rosso 2.
I’ve got these on my s1000rr and I love them.
I love these. Definitely getting them again after this set is roast
Been using these on my Duke 390 (total overkill tyres) and I cannot go to any other brand the dry grip provided is amazing and the milage is good too
Dope. I run these on my Gixxer 1000. Love them
Fantastic tire choice for a SD 1290R in the Pac. NW.
M7RR are my next tires mon my SV1000S with a handfull of trackdays every year. Power 5 are great on dry but here in French Brittany it rains often
These are great tires but only for street and even some hard sports riding in canyons. But they moved on me a bit at racetrack. Had them on GSxr600 and vfr800. Never moved even once on street.. More rounder profile so dont get that throw in corner which personally prefer. But great in rain. Bteer than PR4
i'm on my 3rd rear m7rr tire on my superduke 1290 r, 7k km's usually they last amazing grip from start till end.
From your profile pic, it looks like you rarely use the front haha! -DrewZilla
RevZilla haha :p
Considering these as my next for my superduke as well... but can you combine a Michelin 2CT front tire with an M7RR back one?
recently put these on my SV, amazing tires. you really feel like you stick to the ground and there's barely any difference in the wet.
Hello, could you please tell me if there are used these tires off the asphalt, I am interested to know if they also serve for a little off road
@@josemanuellealmarquez7612 No. They would be terrible off road
@@nero91 tankyou for the answer
I used to push on dry grip on the street and heigh ways with lots of cornering not in wet one so which one will be best for me (rosso3 already used dunlop gpr 300 already used and i need more grip while doing cornering on street now I’m just lil beat confused between rosso corsa 2 and with this m7 rr but I trust on pirelli so please make me sure for this..??❤️
What would you pick between these and Michelin Power 5? riding in the rain only if I get caught somewhere..mainly in the city with occasional longer trips on weekends.
I trust my mechanic n friend. He fitted a reartyre n to me no loss of quality after Pirellis.
Hey revzilla what do you recommend diablo rosso corsa 2 or metzeller m7 rr for mountains curves on a 2007 r1
Good day, I have a 2008 r1, i usually run the dunlop q3+ its great in dry but not so great in wet. Will this be a better choice or not?
Between s21, s22 or m7, just for cornering hard on hot weather in Portugal, in a 98' Fireblade witch one it is better?
Can I use a M3 in the front and use a M7 in the rear being that they’re both part of the metzeler family?
preferably im a supermoto rider of 250cc category . So thinking of this tires with a size of 110F and 150R. So do you recommend me ? more of a cornering guy and a little bit of dusty offroad. What about the wet grips and hows this compared to M5 ?
Of these three tyres, Metzeler Sportec M7RR, Michelin Pilot road 5 and Pirelli Diablo rosso 3, which one will be best for my Duke 390? I mainly commute, even when it's raining, but I like to go to some canyon roads on the weekends as well. I want a tyre that's good in cold/wet conditions, good grip in the dry and also decent tread life (I don't want to be replacing tyres on my commuter all the time). Or do you have another tyre suggestions that I haven't mentioned?
Im deciding between M7RR’s or Rosso Corsa 2’s .
I have 2012 gsxr1000 I just ordered I hope they work good I’m used pirelli
hey guys I'm torn between m7rr (that I've used for a few hundred miles and loved) or the rosso 3 (that I haven't used). I'm familiar with the Pirelli family and find all of them are good but I'm look for the tyre out of these that will give the most village the m7rr or the rosso 3? not that it makes too much difference to the estimate but I have a triumoh speed triple r that does like to chew through rubber.
Both should offer similar mileage, but the M7RR has better wet grip. -DrewZilla
Best all around tire you can by hands down.
Darrell's Moto Diary are you using it on the Xr???
Looking at sport tyres that I can use on the track and road. I'm torn between Rossi Corsa 2 which I have now and I love them. But I've had a go on these on a s1000rr. And seem pretty good. What's people's personal preferences??? Bearing in mind I don't hang about and plod along.
Also I'm running a gsxr 750 k8 at the moment
If you're looking for a bit more durability than the Pirellis, then I'd go for these M7 RRs. They're a bit more street-focused but can still do track days for sure. -DrewZilla
Question: Considering these as my next for my superduke as well... but can you combine a Michelin 2CT front tire with an M7RR back one?
No, you definitely should not mix a 2CT with an M7RR. You should match your front and rear tires. -DrewZilla
I have a 2016 R1 do a lot of mountain, Canyon, and highway miles, no track day plans. Temperatures vary from 40 degrees to a 100. Would this be the best tire for me money not really a issue just want the best.
As these have quick warm-up and work well even at those lower temperatures close to 40, then yes, these would likely be a really good option. -DrewZilla
When I bought the Yamaha R3 in 2015, I replace the stock rubber with Pirelli and did not like the feel. Later I bought the M7RR in the 150/60 ZR rear and the 110/70 ZR front. That is the largest tires which will fit the rims properly. Eventually I had to reduce the rear sprocket by one tooth because the tire is shorter that stock tire (slightly). The tires are the best I've ever used on my motorcycles, and I've always used the Michelin tires in the past on my other bikes. Handling is amazing and it is more stable.
Hi, I can't decide between M7rr and conti road attack 2 evo? I do a lot of twisties and lot of comutes.
Thanks
My personal pick is the Metzeler M7 RRs. I've ridden these on several bikes, both aggressively and in a commuting context, and they are truly excellent. I think they are your best bet for a tire that can be used confidently across both riding styles. -TeamZilla Chris
Would you recommend these for a 2015 Honda VFR that is mostly street ridden? Not a ton of highway miles, but not 10 tenths in all the corners. Looking for something with more grip than a sport touring tire, but don't need something super aggressive for grip either. Just to inspire lots of confidence and hopefully get about 5k miles out of.
These would be a great step up in grip from a sport touring tire, though modern sport touring tires like the Metzeler Roadtec 01s have great grip. I think these strike a good balance between grip and life. -DrewZilla

When you order them online from your website do they come with the gold rims or no. Because I want to get them for my ninja 300 and thé rear is a 150/60 and was wondering if my stock rims will fit on them
The tires do not ship with rims. Even though the Ninja 300 generally uses a 140 width rear, you should be able to mount the 150 rear in the M7 RR. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-sportec-m7-rr-tires
Revzilla, I am torn between Metzler m7rr, Dunlop Q3, BridgeStone s21. (~8track days/season and here it can get wet weather anyweek). I can live with less mileage and longevity. What do you suggest? Q3s?
I'd go with the M7RR tires, as the Q3s aren't so good in the wet. -DrewZilla
Hi, I would like to ask for your opinion. I use my bike (ktm rc390) for daily commute and go to the track once a month. Which tyre you recommend between Metzeler m7rr and Mitas Sport Force+ and Michelin Power RS.
Thank you.
If you go to the track once a month, I would recommend the Michelins. -DrewZilla
Hi, I'm going to ride the M7 RR, I have a Suzuki GSXR600 and my question is what pressures do I have to put on the road and what pressures in circuit .... thank you very much
For street riding, you should run the pressure that your owner's manual recommends. For track riding, you'll need to find what works for you. -DrewZilla
Hello from México Revz.. could you please tell me if can i use these tires off the asphalt, I am interested to know if they also serve for a little off road
These are sport tires designed specifically for on-road use only.
-Zack
When you flatten the profile of the tyre you DO NOT get more contact patch on corners, it is actually the opposite to what you stated
I wonder how this tyre compares against Bridgestone's Battlax S20 or the newer S21 for that matter.
The S21 is a great tire, I have a few track videos with it on my channel. I'm looking at this one to maybe get a little bit more mileage while keeping a good level of grip on the corners.
I replaced the oem S21 on my s1000r with RR7. Bridgestones were good but last 25% of their life was a little less grip in the wet. Mets have been better in every respect - fair bit of wet riding and tracks days included. Unexpectedly have squeezed 9000km out of them - now front and rear have just worn to the tread depth indicators, and no change in tyre performance. Another set of m7rr will be fitted in the next week.
How do these tyres measure up to pilot 5. They would be on a zx6r 636
These offer a lot more grip than the Road 5 tires, but in exchange, they don't last as long. If you do a lot of highway riding, you might want the extra life of the Road 5s. If you do mostly back road riding, then consider the M7 RRs. -DrewZilla

Question: I am getting a Yamaha R3 next spring and looking at tires. As this is my first bike and I live in Minnesota, would you recommend these over the Diablo Rosso ii's? Doing commuting, weekend trips to the black hills and want tremendous grip.
Both are good tire options, but these Metzelers offer better wet grip, so I'd lean towards the Metzelers. -DrewZilla
tia ria you get that bike yet?
How it compares with Pilot Road 4 and Rosso 3? My bike is MT07.
It has more grip and performance than the Pilot Road 4 and similar performance to the Pirelli Rosso 3 with slightly better wet grip. -DrewZilla
Metzler m7 rr or dunlop q3+?
Riding a zzr600 . I ride almost any chance i get as long as theres no snow
In that case, definitely the M7 RR. -DrewZilla
Is the m7rr or the z8 better in cold temperatures?
Hello revzilla. I know that it's an old video, but could you please tell which it's the best choise for my vfr 800 '04. This m7rr or battlax t30 evo. I'd like commuting, but also to lean my bike at the top in the curvy roads, and occasionally 2up. Thanks
The T30 EVOs have more longevity, while the M7 RRs have more grip. I would probably go with the M7 RRs. -DrewZilla
Thanks
I had bought 2015 Nov manufactured M7 tyre...n fixed it on my duke. Is it's safe to ride on 3 yr old new tyre..??
Yes, it's safe. It's even safe to ride a 7 year old tire. -DrewZilla
Which is better this, or Sportec M9 rr?
Hi, how this compare to the roadtec 01? They will go on a s1000xr. Cheers
The M7 RRs provide a bit more grip at the expense of overall tire life. If you do a lot of long-distance touring on the S1000XR, consider the Roadtecs. If you don't need as much tire life and want even more grip, then go with the M7 RRs. -DrewZilla
Can’t wait to try them on my Kawasaki Z900. 1-2 weeks more, then I can take out the bike. Come on 2020
Hello RevZilla! Would you recommend these tires for my BMW K1300R? I do a lot of commuting and in the weekends i hit the twistiest. Currently i have Metzeler K3 on my bike, the grip is phenomenal with the K3 but they don't last long. I saw these are really grip a lot and could potentially last a lot longer than my current Metzeler K3. Looking forward to your reply! Kind Regards!
If you have the K3 tires, I would definitely recommend going to the M7 RRs. They have great dry and wet grip and will last a lot longer than the K3s. They'll also warm up faster and work at colder temperatures. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-sportec-m7-rr-tires
@@RevZilla Thank You for the reply! If that is the case i will definitely go to the M7 RRs, especially because i ride in cold weather too and i had my Metzeler K3s slip on me few times in the cold weather. Thanks once again!
You're welcome!
would these tires be a better buy than road 5 for 2006 R6?
If you want more grip than the Road 5s and don't need the extra tire life of the Road 5s, then get these. -DrewZilla

Hi i want to change tyres on my fireblade. Front (S20)is completely gone and rear (M5 interact)has about 2000 km more life in it. I do fast sunday rides all round the year and plan to do couple of track days in an year. Available options in my cuty currently are - M5,M7, pp3, rosso 3 and PR4.
I would do the M7 front and rear. -DrewZilla
Is m7rr more grippy then m5
Yes, the M7 RR tires are an upgrade over the M5, and they have more grip than the M5. -DrewZilla
RevZilla thanks already ordered a set of M7RR. Thanks a ton.
You're welcome!
Which is better this or the pirelli diablo rosso 3 ?
The Metzelers offer better cold weather and wet grip, while the Pirellis offer slightly better dry grip. -DrewZilla
Pls tell me bro that should i put this on my rc 390
Yes, these are a great option for the RC390. -DrewZilla
Hi. how is this tyre vs the Michelin pilot Road 4 in terms of mileage and performance?
These M7 RR tires provide a good amount more performance but don't last as long as the Pilot Road 4 Tires. I'd say the M7 RR Tires have about 30% more grip but 30% less life. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla THANK for the response, Im about due for a new set of tyres again but I'm not too sure which one to go for between the Diablo Rosso II, the III and a new set of these M7RR.
-I ride more on the streets say 90% of the time.
-I'm looking for a good handling tyre with nice grip but one that also performs well in wet/cold weather. I realized the M7RR is not too great in the rain.
-I'm also looking for a tyre that will last longer. Thanks
excellent tire stick like a Bubble gum!! Sometimes I like it better than Super Corsa
Hey RevZilla! I have 2 questions:
1) how about you guys make video about new m9rr? Very interesting.
2) what can you say about china made Metzler? Worth it or not?
The M9RR Tires aren't available in the US at the moment, so we won't have a video until they are available. As for country of origin, Metzeler uses the same ingredients and same machines in all its factories around the world (Germany, China, Brazil, etc.). Most of the process is automated, so the tires are very consistent across all the factories. I have no problem with a Metzeler made in China. -DrewZilla
is this tire better than the sportec m5 which is on KTM RC 390 as stock
Yes, these have better grip and longevity compared to the M5 tires. -DrewZilla
ITGuru so, which ones did u end up picking? I’m in your situation now. My m5’s believe it or not, lasted 15,000km hahaha. And still no metal strips in the center of the tires.
I did a ride from Bangalore to Goa to Mumbai city (about a 1000km one way) and a flat 1 inch patch happened in the middle of my rear tire which was disappointing (but expected, I guess?) cuz these are soft compound tires.
I want to do the m7rr’s and this is the best review I’ve seen so far to convince me to do so especially after their reply to your question here.
I ride a ‘16 duke 390.
Please let me know what u recommend.
What exactly is the difference between these and the Roadtec 01?
The rubber compounds are different. The M7RR sport tires have a bit more grip than the sport-touring Roadtec 01 tires, while the Roadtec 01 tires last longer. Both have high silica content for increased wet grip. -DrewZilla
In what conditions does the M7RR have more grip than the Roadtec 01? Rain? Dry? High lean angles?
The M7RR tires have more grip than the Roadtecs in all but the coldest conditions, which is why they don't last as long as the Roadtecs. -DrewZilla
Thank you for asking this question ! I have been researching this very thing. Information is hard.
Thank you for answering this question ! I found the answer I have been looking for ! Thanks :)
Are they better then Rosso 3’s
They're almost equal, though the Metzelers have better wet and cold grip, and the Pirellis have slightly better dry grip. -DrewZilla
bridgestone battlax s21or metzler m7rr?
Having actually spent a considerable amount of time on a set of Metzeler M7 RRs, they'd be my pick for an excellent street tire with performance that could even get you to the track if need be. -TeamZilla Chris
S21 manage overheating better
I ran s21's on my 2014 zx10r last season. Put about 4k on them. Good grip for the street been caught in rain at 90 mph and nithing but confidence. However wore the middle flat from riad trips and a few burn outs. Replacing them probaly sometime this season. Actually might do q3+ ir the m7rr. But you cant go wring with the s21.
Can I used r15 v3 bike bro
No, these are not made in sizes small enough for the R15. -DrewZilla
Hi RevZilla, which tires do you prefer for daily commuting and some fun in the twisties on a sunday afternoon, the Metzeler sportec m7 rr or the Michelin road 5s?
For commuting and Sunday rides, I'd go with the M7 RR Tires. -DrewZilla
Thanks, can you tell me why you choose the M7 RR above the Road 5s in this case, because after some research, I tought the Road 5s are better for my kind of riding ?
The Road 5s are better for the commuting, but the M7 RRs are better all around. You could go with the Road 5s, and if you feel you need more grip for the twisties, then go for the M7 RRs next time around. A number of Street Triple riders here just really like the M7 RRs. -DrewZilla
Thanks for the explanation.
Sure thing!
M7rr en 120 av et 190 ar monté sur s1000rr, tester sur route, longévité bien supérieure au Pirelli diablo rosso 3, 3000 à 3500 km pour les m7rr contre 2500 km pour les rosso.
J'ai aussi testé les dunlop s22r qui ont un meilleur grip que les 2 cité ci dessus mais bien sur au détriment de la longévité 2000 km.
En résumé je n'ai pas trop aimé le m7rr car il manque de grip comparé au s22r qui sont pourtant dans la même catégorie, manque de grip également pour le rosso 3.
Test des 3 marques à la même période de l'année et avec les mêmes pressions 2.5 av et 2.9 ar, meme en baissant la pression sur l'arrière a 2.5 sur le m7rr le grip n'est pas vraiment meilleur.
Can we put these tyres on ktm duke 390 ?????????
Yes, these are available in sizes for the Duke 390. -DrewZilla

New 390 dukes comes with Metz Sportec M5
Yes , I did put it on my Duke 390 and I love em
I don't know about these but I know the M5s were garbage.
Replaced mine with a set of Road 6s.
Metzeler M7RR or Bridgestone S21?
If you do a lot of street and track riding, then I'd go for the S21. If you stick mainly to the street, then go for the M7RR. -DrewZilla
KrayZJool Buying a set 2mrw for my 2016 R1
Is this a new version of the tire?
No, it isn't a new version. It's still the same M7RR that replaced the M5. -DrewZilla
It looks like it slipped on that highway repaired rubber compound. Slippery when wet any tire would have done that. You can’t ride in rain, like it’s dry. Just saying
relaxe.....good lord, keep your hands down.....
hey guys I'm torn between m7rr (that I've used for a few hundred miles and loved) or the rosso 3 (that I haven't used). I'm familiar with the Pirelli family and find all of them are good but I'm look for the tyre out of these that will give the most village the m7rr or the rosso 3? not that it makes too much difference to the estimate but I have a triumoh speed triple r that does like to chew through rubber.
H. Devine cheers dude... the m7s were literally designed for the roads I ride on my only real question is about longevity, what tyre will give more village per set? what are the reports your hearing? forums seem to suggest that the m7s are going to give about 3-4k and rosso 3 will be more 4-6k how does this stack with you experiences?
H. Devine quality reply thank you!
Had these on a factory s1000rr and you feel safe.currently on Pirelli Rossi Corsa 2 and they are brilliant on my 750. But not bad in the wet just not the best dry I can't actually push them harder the pegs scrape lol.
