Description
Metzeler Roadtec Z8
Metzeler Roadtec Z8
Greek π tread pattern
- Efficient water evacuation even in the toughest and wettest conditions
Longitudinal grooves
- Deep and long to increase water evacuation
- Safety feeling in the wet
- Increases tyre flexibility and enlarges the footprint area
Radial grooves
- Water drainage at high lean angles
- Maximum safety in all conditions
Spaced grooves
- More rubber in contact with the ground
- Better grip on dry at full lean
- Reduced noise and vibration
Enjoyment
Interact is the multi-tension technology allowing Metzeler tyres to offer the best performance in all conditions, the differentiated tensioning of the steel belt underneath the tread compound gives tailored performance
High steel belt winding tension in the centre reduces compound movement and increases stability of the footprint area which reduces wear and ensures high speed stability
Low steel belts winding tension creates more flexibility and energy absorption, the compound increases the temperature and becomes softer offering more grip while leaning
The variable winding process of the 0 degree steel belt guarantees a progressive behaviour at different lean angles without discontinuity of performance
Mileage
Best performance till the last mile, high silica compounds are known for the longevity and mechanical resistance to abrasion but our patented mixing process is able to further boost this characteristic
Grip on all kinds of asphalt
The tread grooves modify the stiffness of the tyre are are used to calibrate and optimise the entire contact patch pressure at every lean angle
The centre longitudinal grooves are deeper and longer to increase water evacuation. They cover approx. 70% of the lean angle typically reached in wet conditions, which delivers a feeling of safety. In dry conditions they work as a pin, which increases the flexibility of the tread and enlarges the footprint area, providing more stability at high speed
