They're both good, the Metz is newer technology and probably grippier, I guess it'll come down to price.

the metzler is 20 bucks a tyre cheaper then the pirelli.

I thought 'dragons' had gone out of production with the introduction of the diablo range. The only dragons left are supercorsa dragons (I think)... which aren't really built for the same purpose as a road tech. Anyone confirm?

[scroter]

roadtechs are the replacement for mez4. what a difference, great tyre planty of grip, nice shape, not sure how long they last but for a sprort touring tyre they got excellent grip and handling

[DEATH_INC.]

Not used either myself,but the dragon is well past it's use-by date now.
Heard nothing but good stuff about the roadtechs.

[soundbeltfarm]

yeah leaning to the roadtech.
its hard ti find much thats an 18inch

Have Z6 on the back of the GSXR 1000 Excellent tyre .More than enough for all types of riding . Mine has done 6k & has about 1500k left . Getting abit ripped up now from a couple of very hard ride's but still has good shape .
Will be buying another for sure off Whitetrash

Bridgestone all the way.

What are you paying for roadtech's? Alexandra Suzuki ordered me a Pirelli front cause the Metzler MEZ4 was going to be nearly $300.
