Is ZR important?

Post by Sullivj »

I have decided to get a set of Pilot Road 4 GTs for my 2012.


Some sites show the size with 'ZR17', whereas others just show 'R17'. Is there a difference?




Does anyone know where I can get them cheaper than this?

Looking at the Michelin website, http://moto.michelin.co.uk/GB/en/tyres/ ... -4-gt.html, all PR 4GT tyres are ZR.
