ROADTEC Z8 Interact 110/80 ZR 18 M/C 58W (M) Front Radial Tubeless

【METZELER 2491500 ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 110/80 ZR 18 M/C 58W (M) Front Radial Tubeless Motorcycle Tire On-road All-round Sport Touring ROADTEC】
【Reliable Wet Performance Even in Sudden Rain】

・Awarded test winner for many years for its precise and efficient handling until it passed the torch to the Roadtec 01.
【Driving Pleasure】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact provides an ideal handling that allows you to enjoy riding with confidence even in cold or wet conditions.
・The synergy of a sport touring profile utilizing a "π" design groove and patented Interact technology delivers ease of riding, comfort, predictability, ease of turn-in, and progressive behavior at lean.
・Interact is a technology that winds each steel cord with multiple different tensions. It's a technology that brings out the best performance from Metzeler tires regardless of road conditions. By winding the steel belts under the tread compound with optimal tension, it fulfills the required performance for tires.
・In the center, the steel belt is wound with high tension, reducing compound movement and stabilizing the contact patch, which lowers wear and ensures stability at high speeds.
・For the steel belt wound with lower tension in the shoulder area, flexibility and energy absorption are increased, the compound temperature rises, softening the tire and improving grip during cornering.
・The zero-degree steel belt cords are wound with optimal spacing to achieve smooth and progressive movement at all lean angles without interruption.
【Mileage】

・Best performance right up to the end of tire life, adaptability in various conditions, comfort on long rides, and unchanging ride comfort and nimble handling even as the tire wears – all of this is produced by the special combination of a high-silica compound and Interact technology.
・High-silica compounds, known for their long life and mechanical wear resistance, further enhance these properties through a patented mixing technology that increases dispersion within the polymer matrix, making it more uniform.
This sophisticated compound, combined with the high-tension 0° steel belt in the tire's center, provides solid support. It suppresses compound movement, prevents overheating, reduces tire wear, and improves tire life.
【Grip on All Surfaces】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact grips wet surfaces.
・The tread pattern groove layout, inspired by the Greek letter π, is designed to always ensure maximum stability and enhance water drainage even in demanding conditions, providing a reliable and confident ride.
・The design of the tread grooves alters tire rigidity and optimizes tire contact pressure at all lean angles.
・Through extensive research, a groove shape and arrangement have been adopted that provide mechanical grip at various lean angles and riding styles.
・Large grooves in the contact patch ensure water drainage regardless of lean angle, even in deep puddles.
・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.
・The radial grooves in the shoulder area provide excellent water drainage even at deep lean angles. The Roadtec Z8 Interact offers maximum safety even for riders who bravely tackle wet roads.
・The angle inside the grooves is designed to ensure consistent water drainage even when the tire wear is nearing its limit.
