      SAFETY

      Inspect and check tire pressure often. This is the most important tire-maintenance function you can perform. Refer to your machine's documentation for proper maintenance. Always give tires a gentle "run-in" period of 100 miles to get the feel of new tires--this means they should not be subjected to maximum power, abrupt lean-over, hard cornering, etc. Always match the front and rear tires for optimal handling, safety and performance. Mixing radials, or mixing radials with bias or belted-bias tires, may adversely affect handling and stability.

      WARNING

      The charts and information on this page do not imply interchangeability. Consult your machine's manual to determine correct replacements, clearances, compatibility and stability, load-bearing capacity, speed rating, radial vs. non-radial, pattern and tread compound requirements, inflation recommendations and front-to-rear tire matching. Wrong selection can result in tire failure or loss of control with serious injury or death.

    The Metzler KAROO™ 4 is the evolution of the heroic KAROO™ 3: a comprehensive tire for Adventure Bikes and Maxi Enduro to overcome the boundaries of adventouring.
    • Scoop-shaped blocks maximise the rack effect on soft terrains; knob shaping promotes both massive centre traction and lateral self-cleaning; the entire knob layout ensures a continuous support at any lean angle also on hard-packed terrains.
    • Stiffer carcass structures promote a superior performance at all stages; multi-radius profiles enable enhanced road capabilities and promote line holding and grip in lean, with dual-compound rears and lateral knobs shaped to enhance rubber response under heavy loads.
    • Tread rubber layout and tire profile enable adventourers to cope with lashing rain, cold temperatures, dodgy road surfaces and also in wet conditions and during emergency braking.
    • Rubber formulations improve resistance to abrasion, cutting and tearing with highly-aggressive tread-wear conditions; profiles promote rubber thermal stability by optimising footprint.
