Pirelli presents the SL60 scooter tyre:
- Enduro-type structure, with a low profile and a rigid casing to ensure excellent stability in corners even with the scooter fully loaded.
- Very good characteristics regarding stability and manoeuvrability.
- Tread with wide grooves to provide excellent grip in all conditions and on all surfaces.
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 gain clarity, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the information on motorcycle tyres:
- Dimensions: width of the tyre 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 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: purpose of the tyre, M/C for motorcycles
- With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyres, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube
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 the pressure of your tyres, as it ensures longevity and superior performance!
