SKU: PU03050950 MPN: 4248400 Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra Tire 180/50B21 Front [74V]

Metzeler's ME 888 Marathon Ultra Tire 180/50B21 Front [74V].

Specifically designed to enhance the mileage together with superior wet performance.

Mileage:

• Metzeler ME888 MARATHON Ultra​​ is the best partner for long and safe travelling on cruiser, tourers and their custom versions.
• To achieve this targets, Metzeler designers finely combined the specifications which determine the characteristics of tires: profile, structure, tread pattern and compound.
• The structure shape features a flat and wide geometry that conveys and dissipates toward the sidewall the stress generated under the footprint, reducing the fatigue and the wear process.
• To increase wear regularity, the transversal grooves of the tread pattern are discontinued by 'compound bridges', resulting in a more solid and stiffer tread design that reduces the stress transmitted to the belts and carcass plies.
• Also the edges of grooves are critical areas for wear regularity. ME888 groove walls have different inclination to ensure the best operating angle in every position.
• The polymers of the compound are abrasion resistant, providing higher resistance to wear and hence high mileage.

Wet Behaviour:

• The tread pattern of ME888 MARATHON Ultra​ is an evolution of that of ME880' with the target to ensure a high level of water evacuation whilst increase wear uniformity across the whole tread.
• Moreover, a relevant content of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
