[QUOTE="jpcfjr, post: 779200, member: 18946"] Thanks for clearing up the "B" mystery...sort of. I am getting ready to buy a new tire for the rear (already have the PR2 on the front) to replace the OEM Bridgestone. I just cleared 10,000 miles so the 021 rear has not been a bad tire. The front was atrocious and died at just over 5,000 with serious cupping...but I digress. BMW friend recommended the B but with my weight (170) and no 2 up riding, I can't see ever exceeding the load rating. However, that does not seem to be the issue between regular and B. So, extra ply in tread and extra ply in sidewall...to what end? Does anybody have a real explanation as to why I would or would not want the extra plies? If the load rating is the same, what's the dilly yo? From their website: 180/55 ZR 17 rear also available in a 'B' version, specifically designed for loaded sport touring or riding two-up. [/QUOTE]
