Metzeler ME Z3

Metzeler ME Z3 Tyres. Supersport radial tyre with 0° steel belt. Innovative front tyre, 90° radial design with 0° steel belt! Outstanding characteristics are optimization of handling, self damping, and riding comfort.

Smooth transitional response and minimal tendency to stand up under braking when cornering.

Low weight improves cornering precision and cushioning behaviour due to less unsprung weight.
Optimal braking force transfer and directional stability due to METZELER transverse directional tread.

Excellent safe grip in the wet due to engineered positive/negative rubber to void ratio in tread design.

Optimal dry and wet grip with enhanced Silica tread compound.

Improved top speed stability due to 0° steel belt.
Enhanced dry and wet grip with Silica tread compound.

Reduced undamped masses improve cornering precision and cushioning behaviour.

METZELER - proven stability under all riding conditions - a real 'firework' in terms of riding fun offering the optimum in safety! Confirmed by the German press: "Genius rubber!" (in Motorradfahrer, 9/2001).

• Steel Radial - Innovative belt structure, with a single ply of steel bandinas wrapped at 0° around a radial carcass. Patented technology by Metzeler for both front and rear high performance tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than textile and this allows reducing the weight of the tire. Steel radial belt reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire an excellent high-speed stability. Thanks to the more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear characteristics are more uniform.
• MAW - “Metzeler Advanced Winding” patented winding system for optimum spacing between the bandinas of the 0° steel belt. Depending on the cross section position, the steel cords are winded with differentiated spacing. On both front & rear tire they're wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self damping, closer in the areas involved in mid leans for improved stiffness during fast cornering. On the shoulder area, but for the rear only, they're again wider for safe feedback and control at grip limit.
• Multiple Radius Contour -Engineering technology for contour design dedicated to high performance riding. The contour curvature is differentiated between crown and shoulder area, in order to provide most intuitive and effective handling and grip characteristics. The crown and shoulder areas feature a sharper radius for faster and more precise handling (crown) and safer stability limit feedback (shoulder). A wider radius characterizes the side area, ensuring a larger contact patch for cornering stability.
• Racing - Special tread compound developed for the highest performance of street-legal racing tires. As a further development of the CompK, this compound has been introduced as a “soft” version, dedicated to extreme grip performance thanks to its high tech raw materials. This allows faster riding both on normal road and on the track with higher safety.
