LOAD INDEX
The LOAD INDEX is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tyre can carry at the speed indicated by its Speed Symbol under service
conditions specif ied by the tyre manufacturer.
SPEED INDEX
The SPEED INDEX indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its Load Index under
service conditions specif ied by the tyre manufacturer.
(W) Speed index
Every motorcycle requires tyres with the right speed rating. Speed ratings
def ine the maximum speed at which any tyre with that rating is approved.
This homologation level is unambiguous when the speed index is limited to J =
100, S = 180, H = 210... This is not the case for the speed ratings in brackets (V)
= «> 240» and (W) = «>270», whose limits are not explicitly def ined.
In this case, it’s the tyre manufacturer’s responsibility to guarantee the tyre’s
maximum speed. as well as the load carried at this speed. To f ind out the
maximum speed and load for a given size and range, please contact your
Michelin representative. The example below illustrates this maximum speed
and load capacity for a 190/55 ZR 17 (75W) tyre.
It is important to know the maximum speed capability
of the bike before a (W) speed rated tyre is f itted. If the
bike is capable of a higher speed than the tyre is, the
rider must be warned of this. This is also a consideration
for of f-road biased tyres such as the MICHELIN Anakee
Wild and the MICHELIN Anakee Adventure, in some cases
the speed index is lower on the MICHELIN Anakee Wild
and the MICHELIN Anakee Adventure, than the speed
capability of the bike, and the OE tyre f itment. The rider
must be warned of this.
Speed ratings def ine the maximum speed at which any tyre with
that rating is approved This homologation level is unambiguous
