Dunlop presents the Scootsmart scooter tyre:

• The ScootSmart tyre represents an unprecedented technological leap in the scooter category.
• The development based on finite element analysis (FEA) methods and the silica-enhanced rubber compound allows for remarkable synergy between grip, handling, and mileage performance.
• Its hybrid cable carcass construction improves every aspect of performance without compromise. With its tread pattern directly derived from the award-winning RoadSmart in tests, the ScootSmart guarantees a high level of grip and neutral behaviour up to 210 km/h.

Road holding, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre impacts many aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, track, or off-road. Therefore, it is essential to select the model that best suits your needs with care.
To help you gain clarity, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the information on motorcycle tyres:

• Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height 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 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: tyre purpose, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyre, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube

In some specific cases, other mentions 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-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!
