Metzeler Motorcycle Tyres Australia | DiscountMcTyres
Metzeler is the only major tyre manufacturer that makes motorcycle tyres exclusively, with no car tyre division splitting its research. That focus shows up in details like the Racetec RR's dual-compound "Cap and Base" construction, where a conductive centre strip carries heat out to the shoulder compound on long straights, keeping the edge of the tyre in its working temperature range instead of cooling off between corners.
Discount Motorcycle Tyres carries the full current Metzeler motorcycle range, from the Roadtec and Sportec lines through to the Karoo and Cruisetec ranges, across all popular front and rear sizes. Stock is checked and reordered weekly, so what's listed on the site reflects what's actually on the shelf, not a supplier catalogue that may be out of date.
One reason riders choose us over other sellers: we check the DOT date code on every Metzeler tyre before it ships, so you're not getting stock that's sat in a warehouse for years. Fresh manufacture date, fitted or shipped fast, at a price that beats most Metzeler dealers.
Technical Differentiators
The Racetec RR's Cap and Base scheme puts a highly conductive compound underneath the shoulder rubber, so heat generated at the centre of the tyre on a straight gets carried out to the edges rather than staying trapped in the middle. Metzeler grades its race compounds K1 to K3, from soft and grippy through to a harder, longer-wearing option, so the compound can be matched to asphalt temperature and riding style rather than using one blend for everything.
Take a trackday at Phillip Island: long straights into Southern Loop, then a run of corners where the tyre needs to still be working at full temperature after that top-speed section. That's exactly the situation the Cap and Base heat transfer is built for, keeping the shoulder compound in its window instead of cooling off down the straight and feeling vague on tip-in. Head into Victoria's High Country instead, onto the forest gravel roads around Mansfield, and the Karoo range is the one built for that day: a chunkier tread block pattern that clears mud and loose dirt, at the cost of a noisier, less planted feel once you're back on smooth tar.
