Metzeler Karoo Street
A good choice if you do a little bit of dry green-laning, the Karoo Street is so much better on road than the more blocky deeper treaded alternatives whilst also looking the part.

Description
Here at Two Tyres we test as many tyres as we can, so we can give a real-world opinion on them. We spent a day riding a BMW R1250GS on a variety of Pirelli and Metzeler’s tyres, to see what each one feels like. The Karoo Street offers all the grip you need on the road, with a little bit of off-road credibility. It holds the road well and looks the part and is a far better choice than the Karoo 3 for road-riders. If you want an even more road-focused tyre, try the Scorpion Trail 2.
The Metzeler Karoo Street is an On and Off-Road tyre offering riders:
- Sport touring like performance on the tarmac.
- Genuine level of off-road ability for those who wish to explore further afield.
- No compromise in on-road mileage.
- M + S RATED, a legal requirement in some countries for use during winter months.
- All sizes tubeless type.
M+S stands for Mud and Snow, rather than M&S who are a purveyor of fine foods. You can check out our winter motorcycle tyre guide here which lists our recommended motorcycle tyres for cold weather conditions
Press Reviews
“The biggest compliment I can pay this tyre is that I stopped thinking about the level of grip as it was always there. I rode over all these surfaces, wet and dry and I never had a breakaway slip or skid. The Karoo Street is worthy of its claims; it is a great cross-over adventure tyre. The tyre has on road comfort and performance, with loads of off road and wet weather grip.” Kane Dalton of Bike Social

“Although it might look finer than the Karoo 3, it is significantly rougher than the Tourance Next. In fact, during our test round at Mount Etna, the Karoo Street has proven that it feels good on any terrain – and we feel comfortable with it.
Whether on a current BMW R1200GS with its 125bhp air/water-cooled boxer engine, a slightly older 1200 with its air/oil-cooled engine (as well as the previous 1150 and 1100 versions), or the F800GS with a 21-inch front wheel, the new Metzeler rubber feels as good on dry and wet surfaces as the often used Tourance Next – without sacrificing grip, handling or stability. In development, deliberate attention was also paid to how the tyre would interact with ABS and limited slip controls. At higher speeds of around 60mph (100km/h), the Karoo Street rolls with a quiet hum, comparable to winter tyres on a car. But it keeps these heavy bikes safely on track, beyond the harmless dirt roads, even if the loose ground is slippery and damp.”- Maik Schwarz, BMW Motorcycle Magazine.
