METZELER - 3577500 - Cruisetec™ Tire
Sized 180/55ZR18, this Cruisetec rear brings Metzeler's performance-oriented custom touring tire to an 18-inch platform. The dual-compound rear tread is built for outstanding lateral and forward grip, and Metzeler pairs it with extended tread grooves designed to improve both leaned-over control and wet-road water evacuation. It's aimed at V-twin riders who see Cruisetec as the step up from the mileage-focused Marathon 888 — a tire for owners who want their custom bike to feel composed when the road stops being straight. Rated 74W, it holds up to real speed as well as real corners.
