  Best description yet I have ever heard describing how tyre's feel when leant over on the size of the contact patch of the tyre on the ground. From finger nail to the size of your palm. That right there translates to the confidence you do or don't have when riding and leaning over. Spot on.

  Great content, I always enjoy your tyre related videos. Tyres are often overlooked, even though they are such a key ingredient of handling - especially on motorcycles! I&apos;ve worked with tyres for years, I swear by Metzelers and I&apos;ve ridden over 100.000km on different models of them. Incidentally I&apos;ve just ordered a set of M9s for my Tiger Sport, for an upcoming track training / riding course in a couple of weeks, so good to hear my choice was not half bad. 😁<br><br>If you wanted to evolve this kind of content I&apos;d definitely be interested, perhaps with even more stats. Have a look at Tyre Reviews&apos; channel, his way of visualising information in tables while explaining is pretty good.

  Really enjoyed this video. Real-world comparisons like this are so much more valuable than just reading spec sheets or manufacturer claims. Seeing the same bike, same rider, and same track really shows the differences between the tyres. Thanks for putting in the time and effort!

  Well done! This was a really good test! Testing different tires on the same bike on the same day is a great way to compare them!<br><br>I&apos;ve also had the gsxr for 13 years, so I had the opportunity to try different tires from different manufacturers but with the same bike

  An awesome comparison. More reviewers should do this, also on road. To get the real difference in performance and feel from one generation of tire to the next. As a Huge Metzeler fan myself (all my bikes run Metzelers) i got the new Sportec 01 on my best bike, and the M7RR and Roadtec 02 on the other. &nbsp;❤❤👏🏼👏🏼

  I&apos;ve just put on a set of M7RRs from TwoTyres to do Doc Scholl next weekend and it was that 122mph lap from Mr. Rutter that made me realise they&apos;d be enough. 1100 miles there and back and 500+ miles around the Ring - hopefully I&apos;ll get home on them 😂<br><br>Thanks, Ben

  Now this is the format model for what every tyre test/review/product roll-out should copy. Solid, detailed informational content. Well done MN.<br>PS- I&apos;m so surprised at your higher pressures. I&apos;m just intermediate, but on SP or Q5.. I had to drop all the way to 24-25psi hot R / 31 F &nbsp;before I got rid of tearing and got that nice &quot;river bed&quot; surface.<br>Keep up the high end content✍

  I&apos;ve been running M7rr on my s1000r for 10 years.

  Metzeler M7 on the front and M9 on the rear on my Tuono V4 F, very happy with them. <br>I only do one or two track days a year, it&apos;s a sport tourer outside of that in Luxemburg, Eiffel area. I think I would go full M9 next time or consider Michelin&apos;s Power 6 but I find it hard to warrant trying out stuff with my limited mileage and budget.<br>This is why reviews are needed but also so hard since it&apos;s very rider and bike specific.<br>Thanks for your coverage
