The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact is a premium rear motorcycle tire designed for sport-touring riders who want confident handling, dependable wet-weather performance, and consistent feel throughout the tire’s service life. This rear tire features a 140/70ZR18 size with a 67W speed rating, making it a strong choice for riders who demand responsive performance during commuting, touring, and spirited road riding. The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact combines an advanced tread design with a widened, elliptical footprint to promote smooth handling and reliable road contact.
The tire’s three-zone tension technology is engineered to balance mileage, grip, and wet-weather control as the tire wears. A high-silica compound enhanced with advanced nano-particles helps maintain traction and flexibility across changing weather conditions, while the updated profile reduces push steering and supports precise cornering. The result is a predictable riding experience that responds naturally to rider input and inspires confidence through a wide range of maneuvers.
The Greek pi tread pattern uses carefully arranged longitudinal, radial, and spaced grooves to manage water efficiently. Deep longitudinal grooves help evacuate water from beneath the contact patch, while radial grooves support drainage at higher lean angles. Spaced grooves preserve rubber contact with the road to improve dry grip during cornering and help reduce noise and vibration. Metzeler’s wear-focused design also promotes regular tread wear, helping the Roadtec Z8 Interact deliver a consistent performance feel over time. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number for this Metzeler rear tire are both 2415800.
