The Metzeler Roadtec 01 is a sport-touring motorcycle tire engineered for dependable performance across daily commuting, long-distance touring, and changing road conditions. This front tire uses a 130/90-16 size with a 67H speed and load rating, providing balanced handling and confident road contact for compatible motorcycles. Its design focuses on consistent performance throughout the tire’s service life, making it a practical choice for riders who value durability, wet-weather control, and predictable steering response.
The Roadtec 01 features a revised tread pattern and groove layout designed to increase grip on wet roads, including low-friction surfaces such as city streets, worn asphalt, and roads encountered in cooler temperatures. Radially positioned grooves help manage water while maintaining usable contact with the pavement. Rebalanced tire stiffness allows the tread rubber to conform more effectively to small pavement irregularities, enhancing mechanical grip and supporting stable handling when available traction is limited.
Compared with the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact, the Roadtec 01 is designed to deliver up to 10% greater mileage under comparable operating conditions. Its larger, shorter footprint contributes to extended wear while also helping improve motorcycle maneuverability and rider confidence. The revised land-to-sea ratio on the rear application supports the overall Roadtec 01 range’s wear consistency, while this front tire is optimized to complement the motorcycle’s steering and braking characteristics.
This Metzeler Roadtec 01 front tire is identified by manufacturer part number 3555200 and vendor part number 3555200. Verify the 130/90-16 fitment, 67H rating, wheel specifications, and motorcycle manufacturer recommendations before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended to help achieve the intended handling, wear, and wet-road performance.
