To help you, here are a few explanations that will help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:
- Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of this width. E.g. 190/55, for a 190 mm width and 55% height
- Structure: radial (ZR or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical for this criteria
- Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
- Load index: the maximum load that the tyre can withstand
- Speed index: the maximum speed that the tyre can withstand
- M/C indicator: tyre use, M/C for motorcycles
- With or without inner tube TL (tubeless) for tyres without inner tubes, TT (tubetype) with innertube
In some specific cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here are some examples:
- A: Kawasaki
