Handling, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tire affects many aspects of your machine''s performance, whether on the road, on the track or off-road. It is therefore essential to select the model best suited to your needs with care.
Here are a few explanations to help you decipher the indications on motorcycle tires:

• Dimensions: tire width in millimeters and tire height as a percentage of width. Ex: 190/55, for 190 mm width and 55% height
• Structure: radial (ZR, or R) or diagonal (B), both tires must be identical on this criterion
• Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
• Load index: maximum load the tire can support
• Speed rating: maximum speed the tire can support
• M/C indicator: tire vocation, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tires, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube

In certain specific cases, other indications may appear, generally associated with the tire''s brand name. Here are just a few examples:

• A: Kawasaki
• C, F or GT: BMW specification
• E or B: Special heavy or loaded motorcycle frames
• G: Specification Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha
• GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring bikes
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast bikes
• M: Suzuki original equipment
• N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tire
• WW: Whitewall tire

Other references of lesser importance also appear on the sidewall of motorcycle tires (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Don''t forget to check your tire pressure regularly, as it guarantees long life and superior performance!
