Cold, wet and foggy, I am sat in the departure lounge at Manchester Airport at 4am awaiting a flight to Alicante in Spain and the start of my part in the Metzeler Interact Challenge, early details have been scant but from what I can tell I am travelling to Cartagena and test the Metzeler range of Interact Tyres in a back to back setting and on a range of motorcycles on track and the local roads. Southern Spain is usually a fair few degrees warmer than the UK and typically dry so I am looking forward to getting away from the cold and wet for a few days at least.

The new compounds and the changes made to the structure of the already excellent sport-touring tyres from the German brand allowed this product to become an unrivalled leader in the segment for use on wet roads. The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact™* is the safest tyre in the wet. The German Motorrad TestCenter agency certifies this with a test comparing the Metzeler product to its direct competitors. Performance and braking of motorcycle tyres on wet surfaces have become increasingly important features in tyre selection, particularly in those countries where sudden weather changes can occur at any time and bikers need a high level of safety.
