Specifications

Which bikes does it suit?

Fitting and tyre pressure

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified fitter, and make sure the rotation arrow on the sidewall points in the direction of travel. Set the pressure cold to the figure in your bike’s owner’s manual or on the chain guard or swingarm sticker, and check it regularly. New tyres have a smooth surface, so ride gently for the first 100 to 150 km while the tread scrubs in.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a tubeless or tube-type tyre?

Check the sidewall of your current tyre: TUBELESS or TL means no tube is needed on a tubeless rim, while TT or TUBE TYPE means an inner tube is required. WhatsApp 079 231 2573 if you are unsure.

How do I read the size 200/55-17?

200 is the tread width in millimetres, 55 is the aspect ratio (the sidewall height is 55% of the width), the dash means bias-ply (cross-ply) construction, and it fits a 17-inch rim.

Is this a front or rear tyre?

This size is a rear tyre. Front and rear tyres have different profiles and construction, so fit it on the rear wheel only and pair it with a matching front.

Can Bike Sense deliver or fit this tyre?

Yes. Bike Sense delivers tyres and tubes across South Africa from our Pretoria shop. Prices include VAT and delivery is quoted for your town. For delivery or fitting, WhatsApp 079 231 2573.
