METZELER - 4173300 - Cruisetec™ Tire
This 180/70R16 Cruisetec brings Metzeler's performance-oriented custom touring tire to 16-inch cruiser wheels, complementing the existing Marathon 888 in that lineup for riders who want more dynamic handling from a V-twin. The dual-compound rear construction balances real lateral and forward grip against solid mileage, and extended tread grooves are there to help control while leaning and to move water off the tread. Metzeler describes it as the tire for riders chasing the right blend of performance, versatility, and personality — worth noting for anyone who's found pure touring tires too numb for how they actually ride a cruiser.
