Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact

A lot less of slip when the tyre is on the end of its life compared to Dunlop. Under heavy excellerations from the curves slips when worn out. Although I often ride aggressively, the meat on the edge is still there. The meat in the centre is gone but it still feel safe and handles good. Done about 10k km on middle weight bike all roads and types of riding. Although it costs a bit more then Dunlop's Roadsmart, gives more feedback and feels safer. Good tyre, I am considering buying it again, but I might try other manufacturers just from curiosity.

I live in Singapore, a country with a tropical climate and high humidity, and lots of torrential rains. It is a very small island-like country that mostly communes about 30km at a stretch and rarely above 40km in one go. My bike only weighs about 200+kg. Climate usually above 30-degree Celcius all year round. My average speed in the expressways usually around 80km/h to 100km/h. During dry conditions, this tyre feels just normal, nothing extraordinary. Feel a bit slippery, to be honest. However, once the rain starts pouring, the traction totally drops to zero, performance in wet is worse when compared to Michelin Pilot Power 2CT. The tyre feels so slippery, and traction is so bad that to me it is unacceptable. In my opinion, I would rather use Road 5 to be the better one-tyre-do-all dry/wet as my choice of tyre. I would not recommend this tyre at all for use in Singapore. It is not a dangerous tyre to use.

Ive run a couple of sets of these in all kinds of weather on my 2012 Triumph 1050se Tiger an have been a great allrounder. Getting 15000klm out of rear easily. Playing spiritedly on the mts or just cruising ha e suited the bike well.

The dry and wet grip is awesome

Have had these tyres on my fireblade for 10 months have been across Europe and used as a daily in all weather. In warm dry weather never had a problem grip level was fairly high despite lack of feel from the front, cold wet weather was another story rear very loose slipping even at low throttle and lean angles with no confidence from the front. After 6000 miles still have plenty of tread left but wet cold grip getting worse now swapping to metzeler m7 rr.
