METZELER - 2781500 - ME 888 Marathon™ Ultra Tire
This 260/40R18 ME 888 Marathon Ultra is sized for custom bikes running a genuinely wide rear tire kit, well beyond a stock touring fitment. Metzeler's Marathon Ultra engineering carries over regardless of section width — consistent performance across the tire's life, ultra-high mileage, and the smooth high- and low-speed stability that keeps a wide-rear custom bike from feeling unwieldy at a stoplight. Rated 84V, it's built for owners who've already committed to the wide-tire look and need a tire that can back that stance up with real-world mileage.
