The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact rear tire is designed for sport-touring riders who want confident handling, reliable wet-weather performance, and consistent behavior throughout the tire’s service life. This radial motorcycle tire uses a high-silica compound with advanced nanoparticles to support dependable grip and responsive performance across changing road and weather conditions. The tire size is 150/70ZR17 with a (69W) speed and load rating, making it a suitable rear fitment for compatible sport-touring motorcycles. The Metzeler manufacturer and vendor part number is 2491700.
The Roadtec Z8 Interact features an advanced three-tension-zone construction that balances mileage, stability, and wet-weather control. Its updated profile and wider, more elliptical footprint help create a smooth, predictable riding experience while reducing push steering and improving maneuverability. Wear-resistant technologies promote improved wear regularity, helping the tire maintain consistent handling and riding feel as it accumulates mileage. The profile and patented tread design work together to provide precise response and easy control during everyday riding, touring, and demanding cornering.
The Greek Pi-inspired tread pattern is engineered to manage water efficiently in wet conditions. Deep, longitudinal grooves help evacuate water from beneath the contact patch, while radial grooves assist drainage at higher lean angles. Spaced groove sections preserve more rubber in contact with the road to support dry grip during full-lean cornering, while also helping reduce noise and vibration. With its balanced construction, high-silica compound, and versatile tread design, the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact provides a composed combination of wet safety, dry-road confidence, long-lasting performance, and controlled handling.
