Bridgestone Exedra Max Rear Motorcycle Tire 160/80-15 74S

The Bridgestone Exedra Max Rear Motorcycle Tire 160/80-15 74S is a bias-construction cruiser and touring replacement tire built in Japan with a rubber compound Bridgestone developed specifically for cruiser applications. The belt package is designed to keep handling predictable even under the weight of a heavy bike or a two-up load, and the wide tire profile is shaped to suit touring-style riding while reducing rider fatigue over distance. Tread pattern and compound choices work together to move water away from the contact patch and maintain grip in both dry and wet conditions.

The size code 160/80-15 tells you that the tire's section width is 160 mm, the sidewall height is 80 percent of that width, and the tire mounts on a 15-inch rim. That rim diameter must match your wheel exactly, and the full size code should correspond to what is molded into the sidewall of the tire you are replacing. This tire carries a load index of 74 and a speed rating of S, which covers speeds up to 112 mph (180 km/h). Both the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed what your machine's specification requires.
