Exceptional durability
The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long, safe rides on cruisers, tourers and their versions custom.
To achieve these goals, the designers Metzeler have finally combined the specifications that determine tire characteristics: profile, structure, tread and compound.
The shape of the structure is characterized by a flat, wide geometry that covets and dissipates the stresses generated under the contact area to the sidewalls, thus reducing the wear process. To improve wear regularity, the tread's transverse grooves are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, resulting in a stronger, stiffer tread to reduce the stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
Groove edges are critical areas for wear regularity. The ME 888's groove ribs have different inclinations to ensure the best operating angle in all positions.
The compound's polymers resist abrasion, offering better wear resistance and increasing longevity.
Wet grip
The tread of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is an evolution of that of the ME 880 and is designed to ensure excellent water evacuation by increasing wear uniformity across the entire tread. In addition, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
