    Tire Codes ?

    I did a search but all I got was date codes. I'm about to order a pair of Pirelli Sport Demons for the 1100. The tires required are 120/80-16 and 150/80-16. The only ones listed are 120/80-16 {60V} and 150/80-16TL {71V} My question is : What does the 60V , 71V , and TL stand for ? And is this pair appropriate together ?

      The 60 and 71 are load ratings, the V is a speed rating, the TL is TubeLess.

          In case you were still wondering about the load rating. This is from Avon, but the ratings are likely standardised:

          Avon has been making high quality tyres since 1904, tyres that fit all sorts of cars, motorbikes, vans and trailers. On two wheels as well as four.
