I just got my two front tires replaced on my car. My old tires were 90V's and they have been replaced with 89V's. Would it be a big deal if my rear tires were 90V's. I was always under the impression the letter was the most important aspect of a tire and should match.
89's and 90's are differ from each other. while "V" indicates speed. But as per my opinion you need to recheck it again and also verify with car tyre experts like mechanic and car tyre agencies.
I think you need to verify it with your nearer garage....!!!! You will get better info from them but they should be authenticated...!!!
Hi, Dont worry nothing big difference will come.The main aspect you shud watch is that the tyre size like 225/50 R16 89 v where 225 means the width of the tire in cm 50 means the width/height ratio R16 means the the diameter of the disc is 16 inches 89 denotes the Load index v denotes speed symbol Pls refer to the link which I have given below which wil give you a complete information in the tire.
aH..... Thinking of going over to the Dark Side you are. Automobile tires are made with a much stiffer rubber. They have a flatter profile. If you ride mostly upright and put 20,000 miles or so a year on your motorcycle you may consider crossing over to the Dark Side. With an automobile tire you will get many more miles out of the tire. The cost, there is *always* a cost, is that you will have relatively pitiful handling. A motorcycle tire, in a turn, keeps a large contact on the road. A car tire, in a turn, will lift most of the tread off the road and you will be riding on just the edge corner of the tire. You lose a lot of cornering traction. But if you don't push it, don't lean far in the wet, you will most likely be OK. If I had a touring bike that spent 99% of it's time upright on the Interstate I would likely be on car tires. Instead, I ride city, regularly scrape pegs, ride in wet, over painted lines and steel manhole covers. I don't give up my safety to save a few bucks on a tire. I run Metzelers.
