The Metzeler RACETEC SM RAIN 165/55R17 0 is a dedicated wet-weather race tyre crafted for superbike and supersport competition. It is intended for riders who need maximum wet grip and predictable behaviour in rain-affected sessions. Positioned in the specialist racing rain segment, this tyre focuses on traction and stability on soaked asphalt.

Its tread features deep longitudinal grooves and a silica-rich compound to boost water evacuation and maintain a secure contact patch under heavy lean. The carcass layout delivers balanced stiffness to enhance cornering stability while supporting a responsive steering response at all lean angles. The compound and profile aim to keep braking distance short even when the track is greasy and cold.

On the track this tyre provides confidence in wet conditions through immediate adhesion and progressive feedback to the rider. The reinforced sidewall construction helps maintain load capacity under extreme cornering loads so the bike remains controllable. For racers it offers superior wet grip and consistent performance across race distance, enabling faster corner entries and safer exits. Exceptional water evacuation superior wet traction
