Metzeler voted best tyre brand by German magazine

Metzeler’s domination of the tyre category in German motorcycling magazine Motorrad’s Best Brand awards continues this year. The tyre maker has taken the category award on four of the eight occasions it has been contested; this year Metzeler gained the support of 64.8 per cent of the 30,245 Motorrad readers who participated in voting for the awards.

The recognition joins the numerous awards the company received last year, including accolades from the UK’s Motorcycle News, who named the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact its ‘tyre of the year’, and from Motorrad, who voted the Roadtec Z8 Interact its best sport touring tyre, and from France’s Moto Journal.

In a statement covering the receipt of the Motorrad award at a ceremony held in Germany, Metzeler wrote: “This important award acknowledges not only the excellent development activities conducted by Metzeler in recent years with category leading products such as the Sportec M5 Interact, Sportec K3 Interact, Roadtec Z8 Interact and the more recent Tourance Next and Karoo 3, but it also rewards the excellent relationship that the company has always had with motorcycle manufacturers which often choose Metzeler tyres as original equipment for the most important bikes in production, as recently occurred with the new BMW R 1200 GS, equipped with the new Metzeler Tourance Next tyres.”
