Quick question about pressures, Metzeler give a range eg: (23/26) did you target the lower or higher number for your cold temps? When you came back in did you find that they had shot up in pressure? My first session on them was kind of spooky as they had blown past the recommended hot pressure range(without warmers). Sticking them on a buddy's warmers and setting the pressures hot was much better but I really want to use them without warmers for convenience. I'm on a 675 at mid intermediate pace. Thanks!

I used the high end of the recommended pressures. I would get a 4-5 psi increase from cold so I would subtract 4-5 from the hot pressure listed.

I ride lower to mid pack advance pace and I shredded the right side of this tire at ncm in one day (07 CBR600RR) I was pretty disappointed with that. But there were other people there on the same tire who got multiple days out of their set… i did run tire warmers tho and the other folks weren’t

I’ve seen that happen with wrong pressure and with my suspension settings wrong. I know I’m not great at opening the throttle for good exit drive so my tires seem to last longer. I intentionally did not run warmers to see how they behave. I do know of some people who do use warmers on these tires.

Hopefully you sorted it out or found a tire that does better.

I've been on the fence about trying these. I've been running evo powercup 2. How's the feedback through turns? Does it give you a lot of feel through the corner?

I had to go look at the PC2 and see which Michelin that is. Disclaimer-I have never used a Michelin tire. Sidewall stiffness should be about the same. I have not had a single issue with the Metzeler at my pace. PC2 is dual compound, which means most likely they're harder in the center. I took a chance and tried them because of price and supposedly similar to Pirelli TD(owns Metzeler). What I tell people is for the money and frequency of track tire changes try them. If you don't like them don't use them again. But....for the majority of people at at TD they're more than adequate. I want to try Michelin, but for the money I believe Pirelli TD and Metzeler slick TD are both as capable and usually less. Sorry, I didn't answer your question directly. I didn't have an honest and truthful answer to provide.

@@MantisRacing no problem at all man. Yeah I have been seeing the advertising on the forum and I've been on the fence about trying them. I think I'll give them a shot as you've answered the most important question already in your video about them greasing over or getting slick after a few heat cycles. Thanks for answering and I'll give them a shot for the price.

I stepped away for 2022, but it seems like Pirelli is always changing the name of the TD.

How would you compare the metzeler td vs the Bridgestone s22. I am finding the limits of the s22 rear on the edge on a hot track. I have a spare rear rim and am thinking of running the td slick on the rear and s22 on the front for track days then swap the rear rim back to s22 for the road? I’m not having any issues with the s22 front at the track

Street bike with one set of wheels I would recommend a tire road legal. These tires are designed to work with very minimal bike setup. If you’re ok with swapping them as required then they’ll be fine.

How would you compare these to super corsas or Q4"s?

I have not used Q4. Based off my experience with other Dunlop Q tires I would guess the Q4 has a stiffer sidewall. I would say the Supercorsa TD and Metzeler TD are very similar, but not identical. I'll make another video comparing the SC TD and Metzeler TD.
