FAQs
What does 'TL 73H 130/90B16' mean?
TL means Tubeless. 73 is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tire can support. H is the speed rating, signifying the maximum speed the tire is designed for. 130/90B16 is the tire size: 130mm width, 90% aspect ratio, B for Bias-ply construction, and 16-inch rim diameter.
Is this tire suitable for all riding conditions?
The F777/R777 is designed for versatile use, offering good performance in dry and wet conditions for everyday riding. However, extreme conditions or specific track use may require specialized tires.
How long will this tire typically last?
The lifespan of a tire varies greatly depending on riding style, road conditions, maintenance (especially tire pressure), and load. However, the advanced carcass and tread design aim for extended mileage compared to standard tires.
Can I use this tire on the rear of my motorcycle?
The product description specifies this as a 'Front' tire (F777). Shinko offers a matching R777 rear tire. Always use tires recommended for the front and rear positions as specified by your motorcycle manufacturer.
What is the difference between the F777 and R777?
The F777 is designed for the front wheel, typically featuring a tread pattern optimized for steering and stability. The R777 is designed for the rear wheel, with a tread pattern focused on acceleration, braking, and load-bearing.
Does the tire come with a rim strip or tube?
No, this is a Tubeless (TL) tire. It does not include a tube or rim strip. These must be purchased separately if required for your rim type, though tubeless setups do not typically use tubes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it is within the manufacturer's recommended range. Verify wheel balancing and consider suspension alignment.
Vibration or wobbling during ride
Ensure the tire was properly balanced during installation. Check for any damage or deformation on the tire sidewall or tread.
Reduced grip in wet conditions
While designed for good wet grip, ensure tire pressure is correct and the tread is not worn down beyond its safe limits. Road contaminants can also affect grip.
