I agree with Taff. Quite possibly has a higher load rating than the standard tyre for use on a specific bike.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

“Arriere” is French for rear, as every schoolboy knows.
But don’t forget “avant” is French for front.

Re: Tyre Question - what does "A" stand for
Yep that would be my guess too...my car has tyres suffixed with a letter to indicate they're supposedly manufacturer specific. What difference it actually makes i dunno. I don't even know if it the correct manufacturer for my carmangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 5:25 pm I agree with Taff.

Re: Tyre Question - what does "A" stand for
I stopped at the place where I normally get my tyres fitted and there's £10 in it - taking the wheel off, buying the tyre and getting them to change it vs them supplying and fitting it. So for £10 it's theirs. However, now I'm wondering if they'll get the one with the A or not - not that I care.
