The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want responsive supersport performance combined with smooth, predictable handling for everyday riding. Built for confident cornering, the Sportec M9 RR helps deliver consistent feedback through changing pavement and weather conditions, making it well suited to daily rides, spirited leans, and performance-focused street use. This Metzeler tire uses a strong internal structure to respond quickly to rider inputs while maintaining a comfortable and controlled feel.
The Sportec M9 RR features innovative Metzeler chord technology that creates additional space for the tread compound to work dynamically without compromising structural stiffness. Its extended dual-compound design improves abrasion resistance and helps provide more than 10% greater mileage than the Sportec M7 RR. A 100% full-silica compound helps limit overheating and preserve tire integrity throughout the tire’s service life, supporting dependable performance across a wide range of riding conditions. The rear tire size is 200/55ZR17 with a (78W) speed and load designation.
Metzeler’s mid-lean groove layout promotes substantial water evacuation and clear feedback while cornering. The narrow slick center section is designed to help cut through standing water, while longitudinal grooves maximize drainage during wet-weather riding. Slick shoulder areas maintain a continuous compound footprint at full lean, helping the tire deliver stable contact and predictable grip when the motorcycle is pushed through corners. This Metzeler Sportec M9 RR rear tire is identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 3617400 and is an excellent replacement choice for riders seeking a balanced combination of sport handling, wet-weather confidence, durability, and everyday usability.
