The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact Rear(M) 170/60R17 72W is a rear motorcycle tyre engineered for sport-touring riders who demand balanced grip and predictable handling on varied roads. It is aimed at machines where traction at the rear governs acceleration and stability in corners. The Interact compound pairing and profile work together to broaden the contact patch progressively during lean, ensuring consistent feedback.

Construction uses a multi-compound layout with variable stiffness to manage even wear and preserve mileage while maintaining a sensitive steering response. Siped elements and longitudinal grooves contribute to effective water evacuation and help maintain wet grip in changeable conditions. The tyre’s carcass delivers controlled deformation for improved braking distance and stable contact under power. Cornering stability is enhanced by the specific rear profile design and driving comfort is retained through tuned flex characteristics.

Riders will notice confidence-inspiring traction on exit and predictable limits when pushing the bike, plus longer service life and reliable performance in light rain and cooler temperatures.
