New Tyres on the market

[demeester]

I thought the "V" and "Z" ratings were just for the States, hence my confusion when I found no mention of "J" rating on the Bridgestone or Dunlop home pages... In fact, now that you mention it, doesn't the Bridgestone say "J" rated, while the D207 says "Hayabusa"? In your opinion, then, there would be no problem running a Michelen Pilot, as long as it has a "Z" rating? Or would you look specifically for a Hayabusa tyre?

Why can't they just say "A", "B", "C" or "140 rated" "200 rated" "300 rated" or whatever? <i></i>
