The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact rear motorcycle tire is designed for sport-touring riders who want precise handling, dependable wet-weather performance, and consistent control throughout the tire’s service life. This rear tire uses a 190/50ZR17 (75W) fitment and features Metzeler’s Interact technology, which helps balance mileage, stability, grip, and riding feedback across a wide range of conditions. The Metzeler manufacturer and vendor part number is 2283900.
The Roadtec Z8 Interact combines a widened, more elliptical footprint with a profile designed to support easy handling and reduced push steering. Its updated construction promotes more regular wear, helping the tire maintain predictable performance as it accumulates mileage. The profile and patented tread design work together to provide responsive turn-in, smooth cornering, and confident control during everyday commuting, long-distance touring, and spirited riding.
A high-silica compound with advanced nano-particles supports grip and safety in changing weather conditions. The Greek-pi tread pattern uses deep longitudinal grooves to help evacuate water efficiently, while radial grooves support drainage at higher lean angles. Spaced groove sections maintain more rubber contact with the road for dependable dry grip at full lean, while the tread design also helps reduce noise and vibration. With its combination of wet-weather confidence, responsive handling, and long-lasting performance, the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact is a capable rear tire for riders seeking balanced sport-touring performance.
