Metzeler - Karoo Street Front & Rear Tire

The Metzeler Karoo Street tires provide super agility that is unmatched on the street.  The profiles of the KAROO™ Street are directly derived from those of the TOURANCE™ NEXT, with the precise aim to increase on-road behavior. It features a multi-radius profile with an increased width and overall length of the contour to increase the surface of the footprint area as well as grip and stability when leaning. The height of the shape has been sensibly increased to improve dampening capacity and comfort. Both front and rear tire profile follow the same scheme and a similar geometry to ensure a synchronized behavior of the set. KAROO™ Street features a high silica compound with a balanced proportion of carbon-black and resins to achieve a high level of grip on road, both on dry and wet conditions. A relevant percentage of carbon black increase the knobs' resistance to ‘tearing’ and premature wear when used on-road.

The right choice of polymer typology, fillers and resins, combined with our exclusive and patented mixing process, is the key to improved cohesion of the different ingredients at a molecular level, achieving an unmatched level of homogeneity of the polymeric matrix that maximizes its properties and characteristics, granting solid performances over time.
