Handling, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre impacts many aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, track, or off-road. It is therefore essential to carefully select the model that best suits your needs.
To help you understand better, 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 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 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 tyre, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube
