The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who want confident handling, smooth response, and dependable performance during everyday sport riding. This 150/60ZR17 tire carries a 66W load and speed rating and is engineered to deliver a predictable response to steering inputs while maintaining a comfortable, relaxed riding experience. Its supersport profile is well suited to daily cornering, spirited road riding, and changing pavement or weather conditions.
Metzeler’s innovative structure and compound design create a broad working area that allows the rubber to perform dynamically without compromising overall stiffness. The extended dual-compound construction is optimized for both grip and durability, helping improve abrasion resistance and extending mileage by more than 10% compared with the Sportec M7 RR. A 100% silica compound helps limit overheating and preserve tire integrity, supporting consistent performance throughout the tire’s service life.
The Sportec M9 RR tread pattern is designed to provide confidence across a wide range of lean angles. Its mid-lean groove layout promotes efficient water drainage and delivers clear feedback while cornering. A narrow slick center section helps cut through standing water, while longitudinal grooves further evacuate water from the contact area. Slick shoulder areas maintain a continuous compound footprint at full lean for smooth transitions and strong cornering support.
This Metzeler rear tire is intended for motorcycle applications requiring a 150/60ZR17 fitment. Confirm the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tire size, load rating, speed rating, and clearance before installation. Manufacturer part number and vendor part number: 3626700.
