What version is the one best suited to the DVT? IS it the 01SE or the 01? I have confusion and cant find out by looking about on web
The 01 SE is the latest development of the Roadtech 01 tyre. Had things been different, I would have done a direct comparison between the 2. I’m a Metzeler fan boy so clearly biased Andy
I plan to fit these next, lad at our work place swears by them on his DVT. I've currently got the Michelin RP5's and they were very good at first (though i never found them inspiring in the wet) they are now becoming miss-shaped (NOT squared!) and starting to tramline on bad surfaces. Two thirds worn.
There may be a manufacturer's 'cashback' promotion on right now - my local mobile tyre fitter bloke is advertising a £30 refund on these...
Look at Demon Tweeks, they were offering excellent prices delivered when I recently bought a set of SE's. Not fitted them yet, as I have been waiting to get them fitted just prior to a planned trip to Spain & Portugal in June this year. That now looks highly unlikely to go ahead with what's going on in our world, but fingers crossed it will. I'm a Road5 'fanboy', using one of the favoured phrases/names attached to these things on this 'ere website and rate them highly in both wet and dry. Being a bit of a journo-tart, I actually listened to an MCN/Ride report on the 01SE and decided I would give them a shot. Jury still out for me though........ That said, tyre choice is a highly personal thing, especially on a 17" front wheel; See what I just did?
