Exceptional longevity

The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and secure journeys on cruisers, tourers, and their custom versions.
To achieve these goals, the designers at Metzeler have combined the specifications that define tire characteristics: profile, structure, tread, and compound.
The structure’s shape is characterized by a flat and wide geometry that channels and dissipates the stresses generated under the contact area towards the sides, thereby reducing the wear process. To improve wear uniformity, the tread's transverse grooves are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, allowing for a stronger and stiffer tread to reduce the stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
The edges of the grooves are critical areas for wear uniformity. The sides of the grooves on the ME 888 have different inclinations to ensure the best working angle in all positions.
The polymers in the compound resist abrasion, providing 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 while increasing wear uniformity across the entire tread. Additionally, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
