【METZELER 3555900 KAROO STREET 180/55 R 17 M/C 73V M+S Rear Radial Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tire On-Road Off-Road Enduro Trail Adventure Touring KAROO】
【Enduro for On-Off Road Riding】

・Off-road tires that also perform well on-road
【On-Road Agility】

・The KAROO Street inherits the profile of the TOURANCE NEXT, and was developed with the aim of improving on-road maneuverability.
・The tire's cross-section has varying radii in different parts, increasing the width and overall length of the cross-section to expand the contact patch, achieving grip and stability even when leaning.
・The height of the tire shape has also been significantly increased to improve damping characteristics and ride comfort.
・The front and rear tire profiles adopt the same structure and similar geometry to achieve synchronized movement between the front and rear.
【Grip Performance in Dry and Wet Conditions】

・The KAROO Street's high-silica compound uses a well-balanced blend of carbon black and resins. It exhibits a high level of grip in both dry and wet conditions.
・The proportion of carbon black enhances durability against block cracking and premature wear when used on-road.
・The selection of polymers, fillers, and resins, combined with Metzeler's proprietary mixing technology, is key to improving the cohesion of different components at a molecular level, achieving an unparalleled level of uniformity in the polymer matrix and delivering consistent performance over time.
【Traction in All Conditions】

・The KAROO Street's tread design has its roots in the KAROO 3 layout. Its distinctive block shape incorporates cross-country appeal and was designed to achieve excellent on-road performance, even wear, and a high level of stability.
・Large center blocks create a wide and firm contact patch, providing high-speed stability on-road.
・Off-road, the edges of the V-shaped blocks function to provide grip during acceleration, traction, and braking. On-road, the multi-pitch block layout reduces vibrations upon ground contact, maximizing even wear and extending lifespan.
・Longitudinal grooves positioned in the center of the center blocks provide excellent water drainage and self-cleaning performance on dirt.
・Wide lateral grooves allow the center blocks to dig into the soil, creating off-road traction. This is particularly effective on hard dirt surfaces.
・Various block shapes and a V-shaped layout provide multiple working edges to enhance off-road traction.
・Large side blocks provide a large contact patch when leaning, delivering grip and stability during high-speed cornering.
【Electronic Rider Support】

・The KAROO Street achieves optimal integrated control with electronic control systems such as ABS and traction control.
・The V-shaped large blocks and the high rigidity of the tire structure send clear sensor signals to ABS, traction control, and other electronic control devices. Signals are not disturbed by tread pattern vibrations or deformation typically seen with block tires.
