METZELER ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT FRONT TIRE 110/80 ZR 18 M/C (58W) TL (M)

METZELER ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT TIRE

Wet roads, water won't catch you off guard

   
• - Long-time test winner until the introduction of ROADTEC 01, with a sublime blend of precise and effortless handling.

DRIVING PLEASURE

The ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT ensures easy handling even in the most difficult situations, in cold and hot conditions, providing ideal handling for true driving pleasure. Easy handling, predictability, ease of cornering, progressive leaning, achieved thanks to the interaction of sport touring profiles with the tread design with the Greek symbol and patented Interact technology. Interact is the multi-tension technology that allows Metzeler tires to offer maximum performance in all conditions. The different tensioning of the steel belt as well as the tread offer performance adapted to each situation. The steel belt with high tension in the central area reduces compound movement and increases stability in the tread area, reducing compound movement and ensuring stability at high speeds. The steel belt with low tension on the sides creates greater flexibility and energy absorption, the compound gains temperature and becomes softer, offering more grip in leaning. The variable tension process of the steel belt at 0 guarantees progressive behavior at different angles with regular and continuous performance.

MILEAGE

Maximum performance up to the last kilometer, adaptability in different conditions and comfort during long journeys, and agility in maneuvers even with worn tires are achieved thanks to a combination of high Silica compound and Interact technology. High silica compounds have greater mechanical resistance to abrasion and longevity, but in addition, our patented mixing process is capable of maximizing these characteristics, increasing their dispersion in the polymer mixture and achieving an incomparable level of homogeneity. This sophisticated compound is combined with a steel belt at 0 with high tension in the center that gives the tire firm support, reduces compound movement, and prevents overheating, contributing to reducing tire wear and therefore increasing mileage.

SAFETY

Grip on all types of asphalt

The ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT connects you to the road, especially in wet conditions. It ensures the best stability at all times and allows you to drive with a feeling of maximum confidence and safety thanks to the design of the tread grooves, inspired by the Greek symbol and designed to maximize water evacuation in the most difficult conditions. The grooves modify the tire's rigidity and are used to calibrate and optimize the footprint and pressure on the asphalt at each lean angle. Their shape and position have been studied to provide mechanical grip at different leaning angles and different types of driving. Water drainage, even on wet asphalt, is guaranteed thanks to the presence of wide grooves in the contact area, regardless of the angle. The longitudinal central grooves are deeper and increase water evacuation. They cover approximately 70% of the leaning angle achieved in wet conditions, providing a complete sense of security. In dry conditions, they work like a needle, increasing the flexibility of the tread and increasing the footprint, providing stability at high speeds. The radial grooves in the corners provide optimal water drainage at high lean angles, so those who drive enthusiastically and agilely on wet surfaces will find that the Roadtec Z8 Interact provides maximum safety in all conditions.
