The Metzeler Roadtec 01 rear motorcycle tire is engineered for dependable sport-touring performance across a wide range of road conditions. Sized 150/80-16 with a 71H load and speed rating, this rear tire is designed for motorcycles requiring consistent handling, secure road contact, and long-lasting performance. Manufacturer part number 3555300 and vendor part number 3555300 identify this Metzeler replacement tire.
Fitment: The Metzeler Roadtec 01 fits compatible motorcycles that specify a 150/80-16 rear tire with a 71H rating. Always verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements, rim specifications, load capacity, speed rating, and front-to-rear tire combination before installation. Professional installation and balancing are recommended.
Metzeler improves wear resistance through a revised land-to-sea ratio and updated tread design, helping the Roadtec 01 maintain consistent performance throughout its service life. The tread pattern is designed to increase grip on wet roads, including low-friction surfaces such as city streets, worn pavement, and roads encountered in cooler temperatures. Radially positioned grooves help manage water while supporting predictable contact with the road.
A rebalanced tire stiffness profile helps the rubber conform to pavement micro-asperities, enhancing mechanical grip and rider confidence on lower-friction surfaces. Compared with the Roadtec Z8 Interact, the Roadtec 01 can provide up to 10% increased mileage under comparable conditions. Its larger, shorter footprint also supports responsive motorcycle handling and stable road manners for everyday commuting, touring, and sport-touring use.
