Wrecit Posted June 17, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2019 Ok all. Looking to get on 2 wheels and the bike I am looking at needs new footing. With the beater cars I drive I just get the size numbers to match. What do the load and speed codes mean (is load code total bike weight or half weight meaning weight per tire not total load) I know, dumb question and someone this dumb should stay on 4 wheels but my mind is almost made up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted June 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Size, speed and load rating works just like car tires. Load is weight on that tire. Get load and speed ratings at least equivalent to what the OEM used. Weight distribution is not 50/50 front/rear. Only difference is front and rear tires are specific to that end of the motorcycle and some tires have TT (Tube Type) added to the designation, which means an inner tube is required. You also need an inner tube regardless of tire type with wire wheels (with the exception of some European models). LOAD AND SPEED RATING INFORMATION HERE.
