Metzeler Sportec 01 Tires

The Metzeler Sportec 01 is a high-performance
supersport street tire with sipes designed to flex and
deform based on pace and load. At faster speeds, the
grooves dynamically compress to increase the contact
patch and lateral grip at high-lean angles. At lower
speeds, the grooves remain open to maximize water
evacuation. The front uses a high-silica dual compound
for increased grip, while the rear features a harder
center stripe for more stability. Metzeler offers two
versions, the standard and the RS, which is a grippier
version for occasional track riding.
