Metzeler Karoo 4 Rally 140/80-18 70R M+S TL Tyre

The Metzeler Karoo 4 Rally 140/80-18 70R M+S Rear T/L refers to a variant of the standard Metzeler Karoo 4, which is a road-legal (DOT approved) tubeless rear tyre designed for a 50% on-road and 50% off-road use ratio.

Features:

Aggressive Off-Road Grip: Features scoop-shaped tread blocks designed to maximise the "rack effect" on soft terrains like sand and mud, while promoting self-cleaning.

On-Road Stability: Engineered with a specific tread layout that ensures continuous support at various lean angles and provides significant on-road handling and stability, regardless of the load.

Wet Performance: The tread rubber layout and tyre profile enable riders to cope with heavy rain and cold temperatures, offering best-in-class wet performance for the adventure segment.

Durability: New rubber formulations improve resistance to abrasion, cutting, and tearing, even in highly-aggressive off-road conditions.

Advanced Compounds: Radial rear tyres (which this size is) feature a dual-compound layout, with a 100% carbon black centre for abrasion resistance and a softer base with silica for thermal stability and grip
