Coveted award for Metzeler's sport-touring tyre

How does Metzeler's sports-touring tyre perform at the limit

The M5 Interact handles like a sports tyre, its profile isn’t as sharp as a full on track-focused tyre but for me, that’s a plus point

From Metzeler:

From Metzeler: Everything about the new Roadtec Z8 Interact has been designed to put the rider in control. It responds like an extension of the rider's instincts, creating an invigorating blend of precise riding feel and effortless handling.

From Metzeler:

Improved carcass structures for enhanced straight line stability at high speed with smooth rolling characteristics for long distance journeys Maximum mileage on the street and great traction also on light off-road surfaces thanks to the specific compound

Metzeler claim their new tyre, the Sportec M5 Interact, is a grippy sport-touring tyre that’ll work well on sportsbikes. As is the trend at the moment; tyre manufacturers are producing tyres that offer grip and bold mileage claims.
