The Sportec M5 Interact™ Supersport Tire’s new tread pattern is a perfect circle incorporating the mathematical Greek symbol “Pi” as a component to the formula of a circle’s circumference.  The shape and distribution of the tread grooves contribute to the overall performance of the Sportec M5 Interact™ tire with very effective water drainage as well as a superb flexibility.  Metzeler states this increased flexibility complements the Interact™-based tire structure in maintaining optimized contact area to avoid slippage which definitely affects wear uniformity and mileage.

“Metzeler engineers answered the most diverse requirements of the supersport segment with a new stage of development on the tensions of the tyre’s steel-belt: The new Sportec M5 Interact™ boasts five well-defined zones over the entire contour of the tyre, achieving always the best grip lean for each angle, stability and constant feedback.

Interact™ technology is a precise tuning of the high-tech steel belt winding tensions combined with a perfectly matched carcass, without the discontinuity experienced by alternative multi-compound products.”
