Product Information
Full details
The Anlas Winter Grip Plus is a specialized touring tyre engineered for riders of larger motorcycles who require consistent performance throughout the colder months. Its primary advantage is the combination of rapid warm-up capabilities and high-speed stability, offering reliable traction on both wet and dry surfaces in low-temperature environments. However, riders should note that this is a winter-focused compound, which may lead to faster wear if used exclusively during extended hot summer seasons.

FAQs
Is this tyre legal for winter riding?
Yes, the Anlas Winter Grip Plus carries the Mud & Snow (M+S) rating, which is a legal requirement in many countries with winter tyre legislation.
Can I use this as a front tyre?
No, this specific model (150/70 R18) is designed exclusively for rear fitment. You should use the corresponding front-specific model in your bike's required front size.
Do I need to use an inner tube?
This is a tubeless (TL) tyre. It is designed to be used without an inner tube, provided your motorcycle rims are compatible with tubeless setups.
Will this tyre work in the summer?
While it can be ridden in summer, the compound is optimized for cold. Using it in high summer temperatures may lead to increased wear and reduced performance compared to a dedicated summer tyre.
What does the 70V rating mean?
70 represents the load index (335kg per tyre) and V represents the speed rating (up to 240 km/h or 149 mph).
Troubleshooting
Visible cracking or hardening of the rubber
This is likely due to long-term exposure to direct sunlight or age; replace the tyre immediately for safety.
Excessive vibration at high speeds
Ensure the tyre is correctly balanced and verify that the tyre pressure matches the manufacturer's recommended cold pressure settings.
Rapid tread wear
Check if the tyre is being used during high-ambient-temperature months; the winter compound is optimized for cold and will wear prematurely in heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This specific tyre is designed as a rear fitment in the 150/70 R18 size. It is a tubeless (TL) construction, meaning it should be mounted on compatible tubeless rims.
- Professional Fitting: Always have motorcycle tyres mounted by a professional using a balanced machine to prevent vibrations.
- Pressure Maintenance: Check your tyre pressures weekly, as cold air causes significant pressure drops in tyre chambers.
- Storage: If swapping tyres for the summer, store these in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to maintain the integrity of the winter compound.
- Compatibility: Verify your bike's original equipment (OE) requirements against the 150/70 R18 (70V) specification before purchase.
