Shinko 244 Motorcycle Tire

A:

Thank you for your question! We checked into what tubes came up in the stock sizes you are needing and show 2 types. Both will work fine on the street. The Metzeler would mainly be a street/Dual sport brand while the FLY would be mainly off-road but is thicker due to it being heavy duty. The Metzeler may be better due to it being more of a street based (DOT) product. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thank you for your question. The speed rating for the front tire is "L" Which is rated up to 74 Mph. The rear tire is a "P" which is rated up to 94 Mph. Speed rating : In Germany some highways do not have speed limits and high speed driving is permitted. Speed ratings were established to match the speed capability of tires with the top speed capability of the vehicles to which they are applied. Speed ratings are established in kilometers per hour and subsequently converted to miles per hour (which explains why speed ratings appear established at "unusual" mile per hour increments). Despite the tire manufacturer's ability to manufacturer tires capable of high speeds, none of them recommend the use of their products in excess of legal speed limits. The maximum operating speed of a vehicle must be limited to the lowest speed rated tire on the vehicle.
Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests where the tire is pressed against a large diameter metal drum to reflect its appropriate load, and run at ever increasing speeds (in 6.2 mph steps in 10 minute increments) until the tire's required speed has been met.
It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer's original speed rating, even after being repaired because the tire manufacturer can't control the quality of the repair. As vehicles have increased their top speeds into Autobahn-only ranges, the tire speed ratings have evolved to better identify the tires capability, allowing drivers to match the speed of their tires with the top speed of their vehicle.
