The Metzeler Roadtec 02 rear motorcycle tire is engineered for riders seeking confident handling, dependable wet-weather performance, and a comfortable ride across a broad range of temperatures and asphalt conditions. This 190/55ZR17 (75W) O-Spec tire is designed for heavy-weight motorcycles and features Metzeler’s HWM construction to support the demands of larger, more powerful touring and sport-touring models. Manufacturer part number 4335400 and vendor part number 4335400 identify this rear tire configuration.
Its tread pattern uses fewer grooves to reduce surface interruptions, helping minimize vibration and road noise while creating a smooth, predictable transition from upright riding to full lean. The design also supports efficient water evacuation, contact patch mobility, and responsive warm-up, contributing to comfort and grip on wet roads. Increased tread compactness improves reactivity during faster riding, while the overall pattern promotes stability when upright and enhanced traction when cornering.
Full-silica compounds in the front and rear Roadtec 02 range improve chemical adhesion to wet pavement and help maintain consistent performance in changing conditions. The adaptable tread design responds to riding style, balancing touring comfort with high-performance handling and a reassuring safety feel when leaning. Fitment should be confirmed against the motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications, wheel size, load rating, speed rating, and the required O-Spec or heavy-weight motorcycle application before installation.
