Focused on mileage improvement, and overall wet and dry handling these new tires feature new profiles, structure, tread pattern and compounds. New Compound technology offers improvement in two important areas: material and process. The compounds offer better abrasion resistance, thus providing more mileage, but at the same time the choice of new resins improve the level of chemical grip on wet surfaces. Tread design not only gives increased mileage vs. ME 880, it also has better water drainage, resulting in more resistance to aquaplaning. Tire's profile modifies the shape and dimensions of the footprint. The contact patch is 5% shorter and 15% wider vs. ME 880. This profile has been chosen to improve the wear of the compound under footprint. A shorter and wider profile helps by better distributing the force necessary to transfer the engine torque to the ground. The focus is on uncompromised mileage, but without sacrificing the key Metzeler philosophy of stability, and handling.

Whenever possible we use picture of the actual part number. Some items do use stock photos provided by the manufacturer.

Most of the people who work at Metzeler™ are motorcycle riding enthusiasts, meaning that they're aware of the actual needs and expectations of their customers on a first-hand basis. Metzeler™ customers are discerning and want tires that give them the best performance without any loss of safety or reliability, which is why Metzeler™ has been manufacturing tires for over 100 years and they're still a leading choice for motorcycle tires worldwide, which should stand as testament to their dedication to using the latest materials and innovative tread design. When performance and safety are a must, so is Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra 200 70B15 Rear Bias Tire 82H TL.


The tread Pattern of the ME888 Marathon Ultra is an evolution of that of the 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.< p>
