Term definitions:
• Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio is the height of the sidewall in relation to the width of the tread. For example, if you have a tire that is 160/60R-17, the aspect ratio is 60% of the tread width (the first number in the tire size), creating a 96 millimeter sidewall height. Note to remember: Width is in millimeters, aspect ratio is a percentage, and rim diameter is in inches.
• 
  Radial: Construction utilizes body ply cords that extend diagonally from bead to bead, usually at angles that range from 30 to 40 degrees. Plies are laid at opposing angles that form a crisscross pattern. Advantages: Allows entire tire body to flex which provides a smooth ride on rough surfaces. Disadvantages: Increased rolling resistance and less traction at higher speeds.


• Bias Belted: Two or more bias-plies to which stabilizer belts are bonded directly beneath the tread. Advantages: Smoother ride than bias tire, less roll resistance because of a stiffer tread. Plies and belts are at different angles which improves the performance compared to non-belted bias tires. Disadvantages: Semi-stiff ride. Less tread life than biased.


• Biased: Layers of ply cords extending to the beads of the tire are laid at approximately right angles to the direction of travel. Advantages: Longer tread life, better steering control, lower rolling resistance. Disadvantages: Stiffer ride at low speeds on rough roads. Lower grip ability at low speeds.

Inspect and check tire pressure often. This is the most important tire-maintenance function you can perform. Refer to your machine's documentation for proper maintenance. Always give tires a gentle "run-in" period of 100 miles to get the feel of new tires-This means they should not be subjected to maximum power, abrupt lean-over,hard cornering, etc. Always match the front and rear tires for optimal handling, safety and performance. Mixing radials, or mixing radials with bias or belted-bias tires, may adversely affect handling and stability.

This information does not imply interchangeability. Consult your machine's manual to determine correct replacements, clearances, compatibility and stability, load-bearing capacity, speed rating, radial vs. non-radial, pattern and tread compound requirements, inflation recommendations and front-to-rear tire matching. Wrong selection can result in tire failure or loss of control with serious injury or death.
