Metzeler MC360™ Mid Hard is the perfect choice for medium and hard terrains and features has a higher land/sea ratio than the mid-soft to ensure an adequate footprint for maximum adhesion. Its unique characteristic is the CKB (Continuous Knob Binding) design that is a layer of rubber surrounding every knob to maximize the tearing and wearing resistance of knobs and the versatility of use in all terrains.
?Front mid-hard specification has 5 rows of knobs equally spaced alternately split in 2 and 3 sections to maximize comfort by balancing the overall stiffness. On the shoulder area, MC360™ Mid Hard? has alternated shovel-shaped and diamond-shaped knobs aimed to grant traction in lean and maximizing self-cleaning capability.
Lateral half-shoulder knob is larger than mid-soft specification, to ensure half-lean grip on hard surfaces, where a wide footprint maximizes the effect of mechanical and chemical grip. Rear mid-hard also has 5 rows of knobs; the center wide ones are equally spaced aligned with diamond-shaped knobs on the shoulders.
The overall tread pattern is more dense than the mid-soft to ensures the adequate footprint by a higher land/sea ratio for maximum traction.
On the shoulder area, the diamond-shaped knobs help both traction and cornering grip.
