Rear tyre Metzeler Tourance
Improvement of the carcass structure to enhance straight-line stability and high-speed performance with good longevity Optimal mileage on the road and excellent traction thanks to the specific compound.
Good handling and precision in all weather conditions.
New belt structure, with a single layer of 0° steel cables that make up the radial carcass of the tyre. This technology applied to both front and rear tyres is patented by Metzeler. Steel offers greater rigidity than fabric.
The steel radial belt reduces tyre deformation caused by centrifugal force, ensuring excellent stability at high speeds. With a more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear is better distributed across the tyre.

Road holding, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre affects 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 to help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:

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

In some specific cases, other mentions may appear, usually 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: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha specification
• GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast motorcycles
• M: Original equipment 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!
