Metzeler Roadtec 02180/55 ZR17 73W M/C TL Rear Tyre

The Metzeler Roadtec 02 180/55 ZR17 73W M/C TL is a rear motorcycle tyre aimed at providing a mixture of sport-focused handling, confident road grip and everyday versatility. This tubeless radial tyre is available in the 180/55 ZR17 size with a 73W load and speed rating, suitable for motorcycles that are engineered towards this specific rear fitment. Metzeler classifies the Roadtec 02 as part of its Sport Touring range, but its adaptive tread design is engineered to replicate Super-Sport-style riding on being driven more aggressively. The 180/55 ZR17 specification indicates the tyre has a nominal width of 180 mm, a 55-series profile and a 17-inch rim diameter. The 73 load index is synonymous with a maximum load of 365 kg per tyre, under the applicable conditions, and the W speed symbol indicates a rated maximum speed of 270 km/h. These figures should always be taken in conjunction with the motorcycle manufacturer's approved tyre specifications, recommended pressures and maximum load requirements. The M/C marking identifies it as a motorcycle tyre, and TL indicates a tubeless construction. Its rear construction features a dual-compound design, which incorporates characteristics to aid stability and grip in different riding situations. Metzeler also features a high-silica rear compound, with the adaptive tread design changing its operating character in accordance with rider input. When ridden on a smoother manner the tread grooves aid with water evacuation, warm-up and contact-patch adaptability, and when driven in a more sporting manner the tread structure becomes more stable upon being loaded, helping with precise handling and confidence when cornering. This rear tyre is applicable to riders of sport, sport-touring, adventure-touring and high-performance naked motorcycles where the 180/55 ZR17 specification has been approved. Examples of motorcycles associated with this size include various BMW, Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, Triumph and KTM applications, but exact fitment varies with model year and manufacturer specification. Ensuring your motorcycle's approved rear tyre size is confirmed beforehand is best advised rather than going purely off on size.
