This tire features a 170\/60ZR17 size with a (72W) rating and is engineered for sport-touring applications. Its responsive profile helps the motorcycle turn smoothly while reducing the steering effort required during everyday riding and more demanding maneuvers. Manufacturer part number: 2491900. Vendor part number: 2491900.\u003cbr\u003eThe Roadtec Z8 Interact uses Metzeler’s three-tension-zone construction to balance mileage, grip, and stability across the tread. Its widened, more elliptical footprint helps maintain consistent road contact, while the updated profile and tread design promote regular wear and a predictable riding feel as the tire ages. A high-silica compound with advanced nanoparticles supports reliable performance in changing weather conditions, helping provide confident traction on both wet and dry roads. The design also places emphasis on rider control, offering smooth responses that feel natural through corners and during directional changes.\u003cbr\u003eMetzeler’s Greek pi tread pattern combines longitudinal, radial, and spaced grooves to manage water effectively across a range of lean angles. Deep, extended longitudinal grooves help evacuate water in heavy rain, while radial grooves improve drainage when cornering. Spaced grooves increase the amount of rubber contacting the road to support dry grip at full lean and help reduce noise and vibration. Compared with its predecessor, the final footprint area is 8% wider, contributing to improved wet performance and stability. The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact rear tire is a practical choice for riders seeking balanced touring mileage, all-weather confidence, and controlled handling from a premium sport-touring tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThree-tension-zone construction: Balances mileage, grip, and consistent performance throughout the tire’s life.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-silica compound: Uses advanced nanoparticles to support traction and safety in changing weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWidened footprint: Provides increased road contact for improved stability and wet-weather performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreek pi tread pattern: Helps optimize handling, water evacuation, and contact with the road.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLongitudinal grooves: Deep, extended channels help move water away from the contact patch in wet conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRadial grooves: Improve water drainage during cornering and at higher lean angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSpaced grooves: Maintain more rubber on the road to support dry grip while helping reduce noise and vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConsistent handling: Updated profile and tread design promote regular wear and predictable riding performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"METZELER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49388273369323,"sku":"03020491","price":210.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3882\/9547\/files\/40235.png?v=1789024904","url":"https:\/\/ctracingservices.com\/products\/metzeler-roadtec-z8-interact-rear-motorcycle-tire-170-60zr17-72w-part-number-2491900","provider":"Cascade Tire \u0026 Racing Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
