13” rim winter tyreHave you ever tried to get winter tyres for 13” wheels? Sure, not an everyday requirement for all motorcycle dealers, but it’s one of those things that should you ever require them, and require them quickly – best of luck!
Unless that is you contact Krefeld, Germany specialist Niemann+Frey, because then you’ll be in luck. For models such as the Piaggio Porter and other 13” rims, the pure-race winter Portafour M + S tyre is equipped with the snowflake symbol and is a latest generation winter all-rounder, developed especially for light-truck models such as the Piaggio Porter.
A reliable tyre year-round, the Portafour M + S technology has been tailored to meet the demands of winter road surfaces, with excellent performance on a wet-cold track and high safety during driving on snow. Thanks to 3D lamella technology, improved driving stability is achieved by minimising block movements; reduced rolling resistance and abrasion ensure high efficiency. The radial steel belt carcass delivers the necessary high load carrying capacity, and the aquaplaning characteristics are very good thanks to an optimised footprint that also provides additional stability and better handling on wet and dry surfaces.
Niemann+Frey product manager and tyre mastermind Jens Engelking added that “it was important for us to close this gap in the market and to provide European customers and the trade with a good product, with good margins, while at the same time meeting the specialist requirements. The Sceed42Tyre Portafour M + S is produced in Europe, thus satisfying the highest quality requirements”.
