Road holding, 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 meets your needs.
To help you clarify, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the markings on motorcycle tyres:

• Dimensions: width of the tyre in millimetres and height of the tyre as a percentage of that 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 regard
• Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
• Load index: maximum load the tyre can support
• Speed index: maximum speed the tyre can support
• M/C indicator: purpose of the tyre, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyre, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube

In some specific cases, other markings may appear, generally associated with the tyre's trade name. 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 sidewall tyre

Other less significant references are also found on the sidewall 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!
