METZELER - 2491900 - Roadtec™ Z8 Interact™ Tire

Metzeler engineered the Roadtec Z8 Interact around three separate tension zones, a construction trick that keeps mileage and wet grip consistent from a fresh tread down to the wear bars. This 170-width rear, built for 17-inch rims and rated (72W) for sport touring riding, uses a high-silica nano-particle compound and a tread pattern tuned for efficient water evacuation, so grip doesn't fade when the pavement turns damp. Metzeler also widened the footprint 8% over the outgoing Roadtec, adding stability without dulling the tire's willingness to lean into a corner.
