Metzeler Racetec Interact K3 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 5 reviews

Drivers describe the Metzeler Racetec Interact K3 as a strong warm-weather sports tyre, delivering high confidence, progressive handling and very good dry traction once up to temperature. Most feedback indicates it's best kept for summer use, with noticeably reduced grip and reassurance in cold, damp or wet conditions and a need for warm-up before it feels comfortable. Wear is reported as variable, with at least one rider finding the tradeoff acceptable for the grip and handling.

Great sports tyre in the hot summer months, not for the winter months or rough road cornering in the wet, lasted very well should see 4000 or more miles before change, i am not sure best tyre for 1200 speed twin RS may be wasted on my style of riding..

BrilIant tyre on a dry summer's day, poor on a cold damp winter morning also easy to step out on rough damp tarmac under acceleration when exiting corners, very pressure sensitive. Keep for the warmer months and they are hard to beat.

Have bought a Hornet CB600FA with ABS having these Metzeler Racetecs which were close to their end. Really unpleasantly surprised by their lack of feedback and by how quick would they lose grip even in mild reactions. Take into account that the Hornet is a very docile bike and even so, I could feel how they were easily snapping into slides, especially in the chillier autumn mornings. Had these replaced immediately. Dunno about their early or mid-life behaviour, but at their end of life they become really unpredictable.

Absolute confidence in this tyre although I thought the compound was K2 not K3. As the rating I dictates found it sweet progression with very positive traction even through the sparse light gravel off the swept lane area. Wore fast comparatively but love the tradeoff for handling traction & predictive behaviour. Bit of care in the wet .
