Once the pace picks up if the track is very hot these tyres squirm, spin and slide quite a bit. A good cheap tyre for cooler temps but i don't use them in the Australian summer anymore. Great 1st slick for anyone getting into track days, they'll teach you alot.
That’s an oversight on my part, it does look like Metzeler does not advertise being able to flip the front. I’ll add annotations to the video to correct my statement. Thanks!
Certainly! They’ve got the right bones, but definitely benefit from rearsets, brake pads, and good brake fluid at minimum to be track competent. Be sure to take advantage of the discount code if you decide to try a set!
@@linglingbraps ok so I'm not familiar with your bike, I assume there's a way to set it for different tyre sizes? I have an older (2013) R1 and I'm not sure if I could go with a 200 rear.... When I bought it it had aftermarket chain and sprockets on it so the tc wasn't working so I ended up getting stock set in order for tc to work. I'm wondering if it would work with different size tyre?
@@georgenegrics4274 Your gen R1 uses speed rings to determine slip via wheel speed differential. If I'm not mistaken, a sprocket change itself shouldn't affect your TC to the point that it doesn't work anymore. Did it throw a CEL? To answer your question, you should be okay with modest tire changes, such as going the next size width/aspect ratio up. So if your stock rear is a 190/55, a 200/55 or 200/60 shouldn't make your TC go haywire, though you'll probably feel a taller tire mechanically (slower to spin up, better tip in, etc.)
@@linglingbraps speed ring at the front wheel and sensor at the front sprocket. It was 1 tooth up on front and the tc would not engage at all, I could do a burnout at tc set to most sensitive.
