METZELER ME 888 MARATHON ULTRA (F) Tire

Exceptional longevity, Metzeler performance

Specifically designed to improve longevity and performance on wet surfaces

Exceptional longevity

The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and safe rides on cruisers, tourers, and their custom versions.
To achieve these goals, Metzeler designers have finally combined the specifications that determine tire characteristics: profile, structure, tread, and compound.
The structure shape is characterized by a flat and wide geometry that distributes and dissipates stresses generated under the contact area towards the sides, thus reducing the wear process. To improve wear regularity, the transverse grooves of the tread are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, allowing for a stronger and stiffer tread to reduce stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
Groove edges are critical areas for wear regularity. The sides of the ME 888 grooves have different inclinations to ensure the best operating angle in all positions.
The compound polymers resist abrasion, offering better wear resistance and increasing longevity.

Wet grip

The tread of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is an evolution of the ME 880 and aims to ensure excellent water evacuation by increasing wear uniformity across the entire tread. Furthermore, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
