METZELER - 4173200 - Cruisetec™ Tire
This Cruisetec front tire, rated 73V, applies Metzeler's dual-compound approach to the front end of a V-Twin cruiser, working alongside a dual-compound rear to sharpen handling without giving up the mileage custom-touring riders expect. Extended tread grooves manage water evacuation and improve control as the bike leans, while the high-silica compound is formulated for chemical grip on wet asphalt. It's built for riders who want their cruiser to feel more planted in the corners than a traditional touring tire typically allows.
