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 suits your needs.
To help you understand better, here are some explanations that will help you decipher the indications 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, 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: Specification for Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha
• GTW: Heavy, fast, and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Original Honda specification
• K: Very fast motorcycles
• M: First fit Suzuki
• N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: White wall 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!
