Looking for a tire that can handle your powerful V-Twin cruiser but also deliver confidence in all conditions? The Metzeler Cruisetec is built exactly for that. This rear tire size is 180/65B16 with an 81H load and speed rating, meaning it's designed for heavier bikes and sustained highway speeds. Metzeler engineered these with a focus on 'performance-cruising.' That translates to a dual-compound tread on the rear – a harder compound in the center for long mileage and straight-line stability, and a softer compound on the shoulders for better grip when you're leaning into curves. The contour is designed for smooth, effortless handling. They also put a big emphasis on wet weather performance, so you don't have to sweat as much if you get caught in the rain. It's all about delivering consistent, predictable performance mile after mile, giving you enhanced confidence and safety whether you're on a long tour or a weekend ride. A top-tier tire choice for modern cruisers.
