Dunlop is proud to present its ScootSmart scooter tyre:

• The ScootSmart tyre is a unprecedented technological leap forward for scooters.
• Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques and high-grade silica tread compounds to deliver an optimum blend of grip, handling and mileage.
• The hybrid cord carcass design technology optimises individual aspects of tyre performance without compromising the overall riding experience. With a tread pattern directly derived from the multiple test-winning RoadSmart tyre, the ScootSmart delivers high levels of grip and neutral handling up to 210 kph.

Handling, braking, comfort, etc. The tyres you choose affect numerous aspects of your machine\'s behaviour, whether on the road, the racetrack or off-road. Therefore it is essential that you carefully choose the type that fits your needs best.
To help you, here are a few explanations that will help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:

• 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 our without an inner tube: TL (tubeless) for tyres without an inner tube, TT (tubetype) with an inner tube

In some specific cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here are some examples:
