Product Information
Full details
The Metzeler Enduro Motorcycle Tyre (4.00-18 64R TT) is an ideal choice for dual-sport and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly those riding classic BMW G/S airheads. Designed for riders who split their time between paved roads and off-road trails, this tyre provides a reliable balance of comfort, durability, and traction. While it excels in versatility and longevity, riders should note that as a Tube Type (TT) tyre, it requires inner tubes and may not be compatible with modern tubeless-only rim setups without appropriate modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: As a Tube Type (TT) tyre, ensure that a high-quality inner tube is installed during mounting. Inspect the rim strip for wear to prevent punctures.
- Compatibility: Designed primarily for 18-inch rear wheels. Verify your motorcycle's rear swingarm clearance before installation, especially if modifying a non-standard bike.
- Inflation: Always follow the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended cold tyre pressure settings. Adjust pressures slightly downward only if the manufacturer explicitly approves lower pressures for specific off-road conditions.
- Care: Regularly check for stones or debris lodged between the tread blocks after off-road excursions. Maintain a consistent cleaning routine with mild soap and water to prevent dry rot during periods of long-term storage.
