The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who want responsive handling, dependable grip, and confident cornering in everyday sport riding. This rear tire uses a 170/60ZR17 size and (72W) speed rating, making it suitable for compatible sport, supersport, and performance-oriented motorcycles that specify this fitment. Manufacturer part number 4183200 and vendor part number 4183200 identify this Metzeler replacement tire.
Built for predictable response to rider inputs, the Sportec M9 RR supports smooth and relaxed riding while maintaining strong performance during aggressive leans. Its innovative chord technology creates additional space for the rubber to work dynamically without compromising structural stiffness. The extended dual-compound construction helps balance cornering grip with abrasion resistance, while delivering more than 10% greater mileage than the Sportec M7 RR under comparable conditions.
Full-silica rubber helps resist overheating and supports consistent tire integrity throughout the tire’s service life. The mid-lean groove layout promotes water drainage and provides clear feedback while cornering on changing pavement. A narrow slick center section helps cut through standing water, longitudinal grooves maximize drainage, and slick shoulder areas maintain a continuous compound footprint at full lean. Always verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tire size, load index, speed rating, and front-to-rear tire pairing before installation.
