ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 190/55 ZR 17 M/C 75W (O) Rear Radial Tubeless Type

【METZELER 2284200 Roadtec Z8 Interact 190/55 ZR 17 M/C 75W (O) Rear Radial Tubeless Motorcycle Tire On-Road All-Round Sport Touring Heavy Duty ROADTEC】
【Reliable wet performance even in sudden rain】

・Awarded test winner for many years due to precise and efficient handling, until its place was taken by Roadtec 01.
【Driving Pleasure】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact provides a safe and comfortable ride even in cold or wet conditions, offering ideal handling for an enjoyable riding experience.
・The synergy of the sport touring profile with its "π" design grooves and patented Interact technology delivers ease of riding, comfort, predictability, ease of turn-in, and progressive behavior during lean angles.
・Interact is a technology that winds each steel cord with multiple different tensions. It's a technique that extracts the best performance from Metzeler tires regardless of road conditions. By winding the steel belts under the tread compound at optimal tensions, the required tire performance is met.
・In the center section, the steel belt is wound with high tension, reducing compound movement and stabilizing the contact patch, which decreases wear and ensures high-speed stability.
・In the shoulder section, the steel belt is wound with lower tension, increasing flexibility and energy absorption, raising the compound temperature, which softens the tire and improves grip during banking.
・The zero-degree steel belt cords are wound at optimal intervals to achieve continuous, smooth, and progressive movement at all lean angles.
【Mileage】

・Best performance right up to the end of the tire life, adaptability to various conditions, comfort on long rides, and consistent ride quality and agile handling even as the tire wears – all this is created by the special combination of a high-silica compound and Interact technology.
・The high-silica compound, known for its longevity and mechanical wear resistance, further enhances its properties through a patented mixing technique that increases dispersion within the polymer matrix, providing greater uniformity.
This refined compound, combined with the high-tension 0° steel belt in the tire's center, provides strong support. It suppresses compound movement, prevents overheating, reduces tire wear, and extends tire life.
【Grip on All Surfaces】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact grips wet roads.
・The tread pattern groove layout, inspired by the Greek letter π, is designed to always guarantee maximum stability and enhance water drainage even in harsh conditions, providing confident and safe riding.
・The tread groove design varies tire stiffness, optimizing tire contact pressure at all lean angles.
・Through extensive research, we adopted groove shapes and arrangements that provide mechanical grip at various lean angles and riding styles.
・Large grooves in the contact patch ensure water drainage in deep puddles, regardless of lean angle.
・The longitudinal grooves in the center are deeper and longer to enhance water drainage. They cover approximately 70% of the lean angle typically reached on wet surfaces, providing a sense of security.
・In dry conditions, the grooves act as pins, increasing tread flexibility and contact area, especially improving stability at high speeds.
・Radial grooves on the shoulders provide excellent water drainage even at deep lean angles. The Roadtec Z8 Interact offers maximum safety for riders who boldly ride on wet surfaces.
・The angle inside the grooves is designed to ensure consistent water drainage even as the tire approaches its wear limit.
