Bridgestone Battlax BT-020-F Rear Motorcycle Tire 170/60ZR17 72W

The Bridgestone Battlax BT-020-F Rear Motorcycle Tire 170/60ZR17 72W is a radial rear tire made in Japan and selected as original equipment for sport and sport touring bikes. Bridgestone built it to meet the demands that come with that kind of riding, which means it went through the same vetting process as tires fitted to new machines from the factory.

The size code 170/60ZR17 tells you the section width is 170 mm, the sidewall height is 60 percent of that width, and the tire mounts on a 17-inch rim. The rim diameter must match your wheel exactly, and the full size code should match what is printed on the sidewall of the tire you are replacing. This tire carries a load index of 72 and a W speed rating, which covers speeds up to 168 mph (270 km/h). Your machine's specification determines which load index and speed rating are required.
