Front tire of motorcycle Tourance Next of the company Metzeler. It is suitable for on-off-road driving, meaning it can be used both on the road (asphalt) and off-road routes. It should be noted that tires of this type are a compromise for both uses.
Its dimensions are 150/70-17. That is, it has a width of 150mm, a profile of 70, and can be mounted on a 17" rim. The profile in tires, meaning the height of the tire's sidewall, is always referred to as a clean number without a unit of measurement as it is a percentage of the width. For example, a 180/55 tire has a width of 180mm and a profile of 55, meaning it has a profile of 180 x 0.55 = 99mm.
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 59V, meaning that the load index and the speed index are 59 and V respectively.

The tires are aimed at riders who engage in calm driving. In a few words, the tires have a fairly long lifespan (I got 14,000 kilometers out of them) with the tires being in the condition you see in the photo and with driving on trips as well as demanding driving at times. As a touring tire, it's okay... but if you want to push it in turns and with low to mid-range temperatures, the tire simply doesn't meet these requirements. It warms up very slowly. Okay, I won't deny it in the summer... it's good... but in the autumn and winter, it has very little grip. I would never buy it again. I prefer to change tires at 10,000 and have it hold up when I need it, rather than having a tire that will give me many kilometers and betray me when I need it.
Very good experience with the r1200gs. Very good grip on dry surfaces, stability in leaning even when the tire is worn out. However, they are not suitable for off-road use in any case. The only downside is that they are relatively soft and the rear tends to square off
5 stars due to durability, very good but be careful with dirt, they take a while to warm up BMW r1200gs

I remove one star because the rear loses grip and has also stripped 3 screws, still holding but needs replacement, currently at 9000 kilometers, here's a video of a ride on the Stelvio pass with them

They still hold up with plenty of tread at 14500, but I'm naturally going for a replacement because I'm no longer sure if they hold up in the rain
