Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra tires

Tyres Metzeler ME ** 888 Marathon Ultra ** have updated the design of the frame; used when creating them tread mixture that is created by using the latest developments in the field of polymers. Due to this, the tyres have a long life span and provide powerful grip on dry and wet asphalt.

Even pressure in the spot ** contact ME 888 Marathon Ultra ** with asphalt improves its performance, and the new tread pattern provides increased protection against aquaplaning and reduces wear.

Tire ME 888 Marathon Ultra is the successor of tires ME 880 MARATHON, which is already quite popular among owners of motorcycles with engines V-Twin motorcycle enthusiasts and individual design worldwide.

At the same time, preserving the excellent grip on dry and wet road surfaces, the new version is much enlarged perspective. To achieve such a result engineers fully focused on selecting materials and configure each element: the whole compound, skeleton, tread and profile.

Thus, the purpose of orientation in the form of increasing performance has not affected on the qualities that made the previous model-ME 880 MARATHON is such a well-known: stability, agility, strength and comfort.

Improvement of the composition of compound compared with tire ME 880 MARATHON achieved through careful choice of materials for the manufacturing process. Polymers for the compound have increased resistance to abrasion, hence, they provide increased service life, but at the same time, correct and carefully designed matching component of the compound provided excellent traction even on wet surface.

In addition, engineers managed to achieve another goal — to maintain resistance to abrasive wear throughout the life of the tire. The need has been enhanced through the study of the structure and carcass as well as increase the width of the layers Korda compared to traditional construction tires. Geometrical parameters of layers reduce the deformation in the zone of tread contact patch with the road surface, which has a positive effect on the uniformity of pressure in a contact spot and results in less teploobrazovaniû.

Thus, the deformation is concentrated around the edges of contact, where it dissipated without affecting directly the tread contact patch with the road. To achieve uniform wear new tread pattern designed more intact, thanks to a change in the ratio of grooves and blocks. It is worth noting that in blur contact rubber compound is subject to less stress, and this in turn reduces transfer strained efforts to brekernye and cord layers.

New tread pattern ME 888 Ultra Marathon not only ensures an increased need for compared with tire ME 880 MARATHON, but also improves water drainage to improve security and prevent aquaplaning.
