I'm pleased to announce that Metzeler North America will be sending TMW a set of Metzeler ROADTEC Z6 tires for the Vstrom to review. The Metzeler ROADTEC Z6 tires were introduced recently as a pure street sport tire option. Currently there are very few street sport tires available for the Vstrom and I'm glad to see Metzeler taking the lead by offering this high end product for Vstrom and other dual sport owners.
