Description

Metzeler introduces its new tyre designed for V-Twin/custom owners. The ME 888 Marathon Ultra 200/55 R17 78V Rear is the designated successor to the Marathon ME 880, a tyre which is already very popular among customisers. It is valued both for its grip on dry and wet roads and for its high tyre mileage. Those who are familiar with the ME 880 will recognise the stability, agility, grip and excellent performance on wet roads.

The grooves of the tread are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges to make the tread more resistant and harder, thus reducing the stresses transferred to the belt and the carcass.

It's the first time I've fitted these tyres on a Harley. For touring use, they're fine; we'll see how the mileage goes.

Review by Siegi
4/5

I've had the Metzeler fitted several times now and have always been satisfied. It offers good value for money, and I'm also very pleased with the mileage. This was not the case with other brands. Either they were cheap but offered no grip and poor mileage, or they were considerably more expensive with good grip but didn't even last 3,000 km.

Very happy with this tyre, the second one in a row; with the first fitted on the front, I did 17,000 km with lots of bends.

Good tyre and a fair price. Fast delivery. The tyre is recent, less than a year old. I am satisfied.

Review by Artsi

It seems fine. It’s quite an okay tyre, but the tread is rather thin when new; generally, they don’t last more than 7,000 km.

I haven’t ridden much since it was changed, but I’ve used Metzeler before on a VZR 1800, and it worked quite well on that bike. So I expect I’ll probably be satisfied. Have a great summer
