Questions
What is the difference between BB, AA and U rating when I'm buying a tire? Will this effect the tire fitment on my bike?
The tire's code letter indicates that it is recommended for the specified motorcycles, and may also have been the original equipment tire. It can also be used on other motorcycles where appropriate. The compound and construction of the tire is uniquely suited to the weight, horsepower and handling characteristics of the motorcycles listed, even thought the rest of the description and specifications may match other tires with the same name.
(AA) - Yamaha FZ8 2011-2013
BB - Suzuki GSX1250FA 2011-2012
U - Kawasaki Concours 1400 2010-2014
