Metzeler presents its Roadtec 01 tyre:

• Tread pattern designs with a high level of cross-section allowing for better grip for greater safety while riding, even on difficult surfaces
• Wider and shorter ground contact area reducing tyre wear and increasing lifespan
• Balance between rigidity and flexibility thanks to the tyre profiles providing stability, precision, and predictability during riding
  

Handling, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre impacts many aspects of your machine's behaviour, both on the road and on the track or off-road. It is therefore essential to carefully select the model that best suits your needs.
To help you gain clarity, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the information found on motorcycle tyres:

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

In certain specific cases, other mentions may appear, generally associated with the commercial name of the tyre. Here are a few:

• A: Kawasaki
• C, F or GT: BMW specification
• E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
• G: Specification for Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha
• GTW: Heavy, fast, and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast motorcycles
• M: Original equipment for Suzuki
• N: For Aprilia, Honda, Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: White-walled tyre

Other less significant references also appear on the sidewalls of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Don't forget to regularly check your tyre pressure, as it ensures longevity and superior performance!
