Plug&Play racing fun: make your bike ready for the racetrack with genuine sizes and set-up.
Plug&Play
Performing since the first corner
RACETEC™ TD SLICK features an extremely quick warm-up and allows riders to approach a track without concerns about thermal issues into the first corner.
Single Ply, pure radial structure
The most the tyre structure is similar to the OE one, the most is easy to find the correct bike set-up to maximise your track day experience.
Reusable
Great performance consistency
The Uniform thermal and mechanical behaviour of RACETEC™ TD SLICK reduces significantly the thermal decay, allowing RACETEC™ TD SLICK to retain its chemical properties through various laps and thermic cycles.
Abrasion and cold tearing resistance
The wide contact patch on full-throttle corner exits, the quick warm-up and the effectiveness at a wide range of temperature let the RACETEC™ TD SLICK tread compound operate within the correct working range avoiding cold tearing or other uneven wear phenomena.
Reversible
Symmetric rear structure
RACETEC™ TD SLICK rear sizes feature asymmetric structure and seamless construction layers avoiding the junctions, which are sensitive to the stress direction.
Exploit the last patch of rubber
RACETEC™ TD SLICK rear is fully reversible, offering the rider the chance to fully use the tyre when riding at tracks featuring a predominant leaning side, which exploit just one side of the tyre
Love the tyres, for a cheaper entry level slick they have performed extremely well under all temperature conditions

Hi Leigh, Thank you for the 5-stars! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Glad to know that you are loving your Metzeler Racetec TD Slick 180/55R17 NHS TL Rear Tyre. We look forward to seeing you again! The Bikebiz Team
Customer service was fantastic, from ordering to fitting the team were professional, friendly and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The tyres have been great, I have done 2 track days on them now (medium fast group) and the tyres are wearing well, the front tyre looks barely scrubbed The rear tyre will probably get another half day out it (2.5 days) before flipping it so I reckon I'll get maybe 4 or 5 days out of the rear depending on your pace before it's fully toasted which is pretty good for the price and performance. The grip is great, I had sticky street tyres before (Rosso Corsa) and they were ok, but with the Metzellers I can change line mid-corner with lean with confidence now. I use them with warmers on high. Haven't noticed any drop off yet but they've only done 2 days around SMSP Very good value for money , fantastic customer service, definitely will buy again. Thanks Bikebiz
