Yes, for professional performance and safety, it is highly recommended to use tyre warmers to bring the rubber to operating temperature before use.
The grooves are engineered for self-cleaning, helping to shed dirt and debris quickly when re-entering the asphalt section of a Supermoto track.
This specific model is designed for rear fitment; please check the Metzeler catalogue for compatible front tyre counterparts.
Check your motorcycle's suspension sag and compression settings; incorrect bike geometry can cause premature compound degradation.
Ensure you are using tyre warmers to reach operating temperature before entering the circuit; the K2 compound requires heat to function correctly.
Verify cold tyre pressure settings, as off-road sections may require minor pressure adjustments to maximize carcass damping.
Proper setup is vital to unlocking the potential of the Racetec SM. Always ensure that tyre pressures are adjusted according to track-specific ambient temperatures and your motorcycle's suspension settings. As these are competition tyres, they perform optimally when used in conjunction with tyre warmers to reach their target operating temperature before hitting the track. Inspect the tyre surface after every session for debris or excessive wear. For storage, keep the tyres in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and electrical equipment, as the racing compounds are sensitive to environmental degradation.
