Sized 180\/55ZR17 with a (73W) speed rating, this radial sport-touring tire combines Metzeler engineering with a tread design focused on rider control, comfort, and confidence. The manufacturer and vendor part number is 2283800.\u003cbr\u003eThe Roadtec Z8 Interact uses a three-tension-zone design to help balance mileage, grip, and wet performance as the tire wears. Its updated profile and widened, more elliptical footprint promote smooth turn-in, reduced push steering, and predictable handling during everyday riding or demanding cornering. The revised design also helps improve wear regularity, supporting a consistent riding feel across the full life of the tire. Metzeler’s high-silica compound with nano-particles is engineered to deliver reliable traction and safety across changing weather conditions.\u003cbr\u003eThe Greek-p tread pattern uses strategically designed longitudinal, radial, and spaced grooves to manage water efficiently. Deep longitudinal grooves help evacuate water from the contact area, while radial grooves support drainage at higher lean angles. Spaced grooves maintain more rubber in contact with the road to support dry grip at full lean, while also helping reduce noise and vibration. With its responsive construction and all-weather tread design, the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact O-Spec rear tire is a strong choice for sport-touring motorcycles requiring balanced performance, long-lasting handling, and confident road manners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThree-Tension-Zone Design: Balances mileage, wet performance, and consistent handling throughout the tire’s life.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-Silica Compound: Uses nano-particles to support grip, flexibility, and safety in changing weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUpdated Profile: Promotes easy handling, reduced push steering, and precise rider feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eElliptical Footprint: Provides a broad contact area for stable handling and confident cornering.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreek-P Tread Pattern: Helps optimize water evacuation, dry grip, and overall riding performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLongitudinal Grooves: Deep, extended grooves channel water away from the contact patch.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRadial Grooves: Improve drainage at high lean angles for added wet-weather confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpaced Groove Design: Maintains more rubber on the road to support dry grip and reduce noise and vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTire Application: Rear sport-touring motorcycle tire in 180\/55ZR17 (73W) sizing.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePart Number: Metzeler manufacturer and vendor part number 2283800.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"METZELER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49388557140203,"sku":"03020690","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3882\/9547\/files\/40241.png?v=1789032232","url":"https:\/\/ctracingservices.com\/products\/metzeler-roadtec-z8-interact-o-spec-rear-motorcycle-tire-180-55zr17-73w-part-number-2283800","provider":"Cascade Tire \u0026 Racing Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
