Tyre ratings/markings
Just pricing up tyres for the bike. Just wondering what the W means in the tyre spec. 120 /70 / ZR17 W58. Getting Pirelli diablo rosso corsa's. Given that's what I am use to now.

Now then boys and girls (and any others) spend a happy hour or two on spark plug alphanumeric designations.
