The Metzeler Lasertec rear motorcycle tire is designed for touring riders who want dependable handling, wet-weather performance, and long-lasting wear. This bias-belted tire uses a classic tread pattern engineered to promote effective water drainage, helping reduce the risk of hydroplaning and maintain confident traction in changing weather conditions. Its 160/70B17 size and 73V speed rating make it suitable for compatible touring and standard motorcycles requiring this fitment.
Metzeler incorporates a high-silica compound to provide strong grip across wet and dry roads while helping reduce rolling resistance for improved riding efficiency. The Multiple-Radius Contour Design is specifically tuned for the bias-tire touring segment, delivering responsive, radial-type handling without compromising the balanced feel expected from a touring tire. Specially developed compounds further support reliable braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.
The Lasertec tread design is also shaped to help resist irregular wear and cupping, supporting consistent performance throughout the tire’s service life. Proven tread elements provide dependable all-weather capability for daily commuting, touring, and general road use. Verify that the 160/70B17 73V rear fitment matches your motorcycle manufacturer’s requirements before installation.
