CRUISETEC 180/55 B 18 M/C 80H REINF Rear Belted Bias Tubeless Type

【Metzeler 3577100 CRUISETEC 180/55 B 18 M/C 80H REINF Rear Belted Bias Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tire On-road Cruiser Heavyweight Custom CRUISETEC】
【Cruiser tires that make you look forward to cornering!】

・The ultimate performance tire for cruisers and heavy vehicles!
【Enjoy performance cruising】

・Exceptional handling, from initiating a line to maintaining it with ease.
CRUISETEC powerfully supports the bike's handling performance with optimized carcass and profile. Even when used on large, heavy cruisers, it provides excellent comfort and performance.
・Comfortable and communicative in various conditions, including wet roads.
The rear tire, featuring a dual compound, contains a high silica content to quickly warm up the tire. The grip performance from the tread pattern and tire shape, combined with the chemical (compound) grip performance, provides comfortable operation even on wet asphalt. A new compound formulation, with adjusted amounts of liquid polymers and plasticizers to maintain flexibility, achieves both groundbreaking contact area and comfort performance.
・Enjoy superior cornering grip.
The rear tire, with its innovative and appropriately laid out compound, enhances tire performance and can handle the cornering demands of modern high-torque motorcycles.
【Consistent Performance】

・Performance that lasts throughout the tire's life.
The combination of a solid tread pattern and a dual compound at the rear averages out wear progression, reducing the tendency for the tire to wear flat and square. It maintains a consistent curve profile, preserving comfortable cornering performance. By ensuring a uniform tire contour and round shape, comfortable handling is maintained whether riding solo, with a passenger, or with heavy luggage. CRUISETEC achieves a tire life equivalent to that of tires standard on V-twin models through its dual compound, but it can maintain a high level of performance, including cornering, as it wears, until the end of its lifespan.
【Smooth and Comfortable Riding】

・Stable line tracing.
The high-grip side compound, enabled by the dual compound, was developed to enhance reliability and stability at the limits, while also providing neutral and comfortable handling performance during slow speeds.
・Solid front-end feel.
As a tire structure, the combination of firm cords and thick rubber with adjusted strength has resulted in tire rigidity that is highly flexible yet firmly grips the road. This has achieved damper performance within the tire itself and ensured a contact patch. This performance is especially evident when driving on wet or rough roads.
【Safety from Relaxed Driving】

・Optimal response on wet roads.
The combination of silica compound, carcass, and tread pattern provides riders with a sense of security even on wet roads.
By optimizing the tire contact patch, and the resulting performance margin, it has become possible to respond smoothly to various ABS operations, from state-of-the-art systems. This benefit is not limited to the latest models but can be obtained by mounting the tire on models of various years.
