How to read tires.
I was wondering if someone could tell me what the tire specs mean.
120/70 ZR17M/C (58W) 180/55 ZR17M/C (73W) I know what the sizes are but not the letters or the 58W and 73W

180 = tyre width in mm /55 = ratio of height to width = 55 : 100 Z = Speed rating [see table above] R = radial construction 17 = rim diameter in inches TL =tubeless (73) = load index (W) = > 270 km/h I assume M/C means motorcycle |
