Could B,C & H be speed ratings :?: Other than that I'm not sure :shock:
It does say on the website, that the H is for the Varadero, one of the others is for the GS650 and the other has VSW next to it.
Can it be possible that the construction is different and Metzeler make dedicated tyres for those bikes?

could be the tread pattern or some other feature is slightly diff for dedicated makes
bf goodrich truck tires are like that , they have 4 versions of the same tire depending on if it's toyota , nissan etc.

Hey John Stenhouse & Mustang !! did more diggin after readin yer reply and i think yer right !! it looks like a block code or somethin like that !!
http://www.metzelermoto.co.uk/en_GB/bro ... F_ROAD.pdf (http://www.metzelermoto.co.uk/en_GB/browser/attachments/pdf/A_Metzeler_OFF_ROAD.pdf)
so you've helped me answer me own question :D
only thing is, what code for Tigger :?
more diggin me thinks !!
KK
Bridgestone used to do a Black bird specific rear tyre which had stiffer side walls to cope with the power and weight. They thought when they introduced the BT020 that it wasn't necessary anymore as there are now many bikes with similar power, but the weight was the real issue so eventually they re-introduced it.
OK !! after a bit more diggin i come up with this...............
honda varadero 1000cc 92.5 hp 268kg dry :shock: exp type H
yamaha supertenere 1200cc 107 hp 233kg dry exp type c
Tiger 955i 125 hp 215kg dry exp type ?
still :?
man that honda's a bit lardy :lol:
anyone know any tyre guys that can point us to the right tyre ??
KK
You could always ring Metzeler up: +44.1.283.525252........

And your Tiger has gained 20bhp.
As for which type for the Tiger. I used the standard Tourance for 48000 miles as they were OE fitment back in 2002. They were specced in the handbook as 110/80 R19 59V & 150/70 R17 69V. The 59 & 69 are load ratings. See here :- http://www.blackcircles.com/general/sidewall (http://www.blackcircles.com/general/sidewall)
You should look up what the equivalent is in the EXP model.
