Specifications of Bridgestone Spitfire S11 Tires

With roots dating back to 1931, Bridgestone is today the largest manufacturer of rubber tires in the world. The company manufactures tires for a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks and motorcycles.

  1. Identification

    • Bridgestone Spitfire S11s are tubeless motorcycle tires, although they can also be used with tubes provided the motorcycle has tube-type rims. The Spitfire S11s are available in sizes ranging from as small as 90/90H19 to as large as 150/80H16.

    Function

    • The Spitfire S11 sport-touring tires employ a four-ply casing. According to Bridgestone, the unique four-ply design incorporates insert plies, which themselves are part of a refined belt technology that even at top speeds helps to ensure the tire remains round and cool. The tread pattern on S11 tires is a zig-zag one with angled outer grooves, a combination that provides excellent wet-weather performance by pushing water out to the edges of the tires.

    Features

    • Spitfire S11 tires have an "H" speed rating. According to Bridgestone, they offer balanced wear characteristics which help to maintain tire profile over extended periods of use. They are available in three different styles including raised white, raised black leather and black wall.
