METZELERRoadtec Z8 Interact Tire

Sport Touring Tires


Now with Metzeler multi-zone compound (M and O spec)


Everything about the new Roadtec Z8 Interact™ has been designed to put the rider in control. It responds like an extension of the rider’s instincts, creating an invigorating blend of precise riding feel and effortless handling


New high silica compound with nanoparticles increases performance and safety in all weather conditions


All-new profile matched with new patented tread design provides easy handling and reduced push steering for maximum confidence in all maneuvers


Its final footprint area is 8% wider compared to its predecessor due to the variation of steel belt tensions and a strategically placed tread pattern which optimizes pressures in the footprint area


The Roadtec Z8 Interact achieves its best-in-segment mileage and optimal wet performance throughout the tire’s life thanks to an innovative tread pattern, a widened and more elliptical footprint, and a host of wear-resistant technologies not normally seen in motorcycle tires


Metzeler’s new patented tread pattern reduces front tire land-sea ratio to 11% and the rear tire land-sea ratio of 13%. Strategically placed longitudinal central grooves provide ideal drainage for more than 3/4 of all lean angles in wet conditions. The remaining tread grooves work to add tread flexibility, extending the footprint for stability in dry conditions


The updated design of the Roadtec Z8 improves wear regularity which gives riders the benefit of a consistent riding performance across the tire’s entire life
