There's a few tire sales right now and I was considering the Metzelers and Michelins.
Fitting the Michelins is easy peasy. The Metzelers -- not so much. Their website is rife with bugs and slow to load. It's also hard to find application guide or catalog PDF either. Finally, some of the parts have a letter designation that aren't obvious (e.g. M-spec and O-spec). These variants are also more prominent on online dealer sites than the generic numbers (e.g. 180/55-ZR17).
So I called Metzeler USA today and asked for firm part numbers for the Z8 Interact and ended up getting them AND those of the M5 sport tire:
Front
Rear
Hope this is helpful for anyone shopping Metzelers. I was confused as hell looking at some sites today checking prices.
Cheers.
