Front tire of motorcycle Pilot Street of the company Michelin. It is suitable for on-road driving, meaning it can only be used on the road (asphalt).

Its dimensions are 2.75-18, meaning it has a width of 2.75 inches and can be mounted on a 18 inch rim.

The load index and the speed index are two other important characteristics of tires. Specifically, the load index is the maximum load under which the tires are expected to operate properly and is described by an integer number, which corresponds to kilograms, while the speed index is the maximum speed under which the tires are expected to operate properly and is described by a letter from the English alphabet, which corresponds to kilometers per hour. It should be noted that the maximum kilograms, corresponding to the load index, are referred to per tire.

Note: The maximum weight increases proportionally with the load index number, meaning that the larger the number, the greater the maximum operating weight of the tire. Similarly, the maximum speed increases as the letter of the speed index "increases", meaning that the speed index "S" corresponds to a lower speed than that of the "V" index.

In this case, the tire is 42P, meaning that the load index and the speed index are 42 and P respectively.

The TL marking comes from the initials of the words Tubeless Tyres. Tires bearing this marking do not require an inner tube.
