Tyre decisions. Metzeler m9rr, Drc 2, s22, power rs

[Superhayes]

Hi everyone, So im really stuck deciding on tyres. Though I know there is probably not much in it.

Id like fast road orientated tyres. Live in the UK and mainly use my bike for fun but do occasionally get caught out in the wet and ride in the cold sometimes.

Based off internet research im stuck between: The new metzeler m9rr (just came out so not much reviews but the newer version of m7rr), Diablo rosso corsa 2, bridgestone s22 or power rs.

Id like to hear peoples experiences and opinions to help me reach a decision.

Thanks in advance

What bike are they for?

I've ran Power RS's on my old S1000R and have nothing but praise for them.

My new one has come with S21's which I just dont seem to get on with at all and for no other reason than I want to try something different this time I'm probably going to fit a set of Supercorsa's.

If you can get a deal on the ‘old’ m7 do that, they are still a great tyre.

If not S22. I’m sure the new m9 will be very good but you’ll likely pay a new to the market price for them too.

Thanks they're for my street triple

To be fair, all of those are great tyres and all of them would be spot on on your street triple.

I think ultimately it would come down to personal preference.

Thank you mate, so hard to decide lol

I have been looking for tyres and liked the S22 reviews, but since the Michelin Power 5 they seem to be getting better reviews for wear, dry and wet grip.
They replace the RS

Main reason for looking at these is my next euro trip will be about 2k over a long weekend. so need something that can be good in wet or dry and handle the autobahn

I ran m7rrs on my tuono after recommendations on here. Found them really good in the wet and cold but I didn't get on with them for spirited riding in the summer. You could get decent lean but it would move too much when getting on the throttle. Purely my personal opinion on these.

I then went power rs+ again after recommendation and from November to January in the cold and often wet they are really impressive. I'd say better than the m7rrs despite the tread pattern making me think otherwise

Can't comment on the dry warmer riding yet but they are sportier on the sides so hopefully should be all good
