The Metzeler KAROO 4 rear motorcycle tire is designed for adventure and dual-sport riders seeking balanced performance across pavement and challenging off-road terrain. This 140/80-18 tire features a 70Q speed and load designation and is engineered for reliable use in a 50/50 on-road and off-road riding environment. Manufacturer part number 4173100 and vendor part number 4173100 identify this Metzeler replacement tire.
Developed to improve off-road capability, the KAROO 4 uses an aggressive tread pattern with larger openings and alternating side knobs. This design helps the tire clear sand, mud, and clay more effectively while providing confident traction on soft surfaces. The updated tread appearance complements the tire’s intended adventure-focused fitment and supports riders who regularly transition between trails, unpaved routes, and paved roads.
On the street, the Metzeler KAROO 4 is designed to deliver stable handling and dependable wet-weather behavior, including when the motorcycle is leaned toward the tire’s edge. Its construction supports the durability and service life expected from an adventure tire, making it suitable for riders who want meaningful off-road performance without giving up practical road manners. Fitment should be confirmed against the motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications, wheel size, axle position, and approved tire requirements before installation.
Fitment: Rear motorcycle wheel applications requiring a 140/80-18 70Q tire. Always verify vehicle compatibility and follow the recommended tire pressure and installation procedures.
