Bridgestone Battlax S22 Hypersport Rear Motorcycle Tire 200/55ZR17 78W

The Bridgestone Battlax S22 Hypersport Rear Motorcycle Tire 200/55ZR17 78W is a radial rear tire built in Japan that carries forward the Battlax S21 platform with updated compound formulations and a revised tread pattern designed to sharpen handling and strengthen grip across a range of conditions. Bridgestone says the new pattern raises tread block rigidity to improve steering response, while the rear compound is specifically developed to increase dry grip.

This is a metric radial tire sized 200/55ZR17, where 200 is the section width in millimetres, 55 is the aspect ratio as a percentage of that width, and 17 is the rim diameter in inches. The rim diameter must match your wheel, and the full size code should correspond to what is printed on the sidewall of the tire you are replacing. It carries a load index of 78 and a W speed rating, which covers speeds up to 168 mph (270 km/h). The tire was built for hypersport riding and the demands that style of riding places on handling and dry grip.
