MICHELIN is proud to present its Power RS tyre:

• These race-inspired compounds ensure unrivalled grip and riding experience.
• It produces optimum feedback to the handlebars on the angle as well as an excellent feel when cornering thanks to the front tyre\'s racing breeding.
• At the rear, the profile is optimised and developed to improve pressure distribution to the contact patch.
• MICHELIN ACT+ patented technology keeps its Total Performance promise more than ever and guarantees delivery of faultless stability when cornering or in a straight line.
• Grip, handling, behaviour during angle changes, during braking and during strong acceleration; so many factors which define the sportiness of a motorcycle tyre and for which MICHELIN comes out on top in the MTC1 test.
• The use of a single ply means a less rigid crown. The shoulders and sides are stiffened by folding this same ply over on itself.

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:

• Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of this width. E.g. 190/55, for a 190 mm width and 55% height
• 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:

• 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: Extremely fast motorcycles
• M: Suzuki tyres fitted on new bikes
• N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: Tyre with white sidewalls

Other less important codes also appear on the tyre sidewall (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Remember to check your tyre pressure on a regular basis. It will ensure longer life and increased performance!
