Start with the sidewall

Your bike is on the stand, and the rear sidewall gives you four details to match before this tire goes in the cart.

The fit lives in the specs

This is one 170/80-15 rear motorcycle tire with 6-ply bias-ply construction, load index 77, and an H speed rating. Those figures define the fit: your manual or sidewall needs the same size, at least the same load and speed ratings, and bias—not radial—construction.

Read the sidewall first; the right Kenda choice is the one that matches your motorcycle’s required spec.
