A 100mm wide tyre with a sidewall height equal to 90% of the width (90.0mm), fitting a 17-inch rim. Retailers write this size as 100/90ZR17, 100/90R17 or 100/90-17: the letter only marks the construction (radial or bias), so we list them together on one page.

Where 100/90-17 fits in SA

100/90-17 fits a range of commuters, classics and smaller-capacity bikes in South Africa. Narrower sizes in the 90 to 130 section usually go on the front and wider sizes on the rear, but models differ, so confirm against your owner's manual or the sticker on the swingarm.

Once you know the size is right, the tyre's construction (radial or bias) and tube requirement matter more than brand. Fit what the manufacturer specifies and compare prices across the shops listed above.

FAQ: 100/90-17 Motorcycle Tyres

How much does a 100/90-17 motorcycle tyre cost in South Africa?+

Prices depend on brand and compound: commuter and scooter tyres are the cheapest, while sport compounds and large adventure tyres cost the most. We add motorcycle retailers regularly, so check back for live 100/90-17 offers.

Is 100/90-17 a front or rear tyre?+

It can be either. Scooters and small commuters often run the same size front and rear, or a slightly wider rear. Check the sizes printed in your owner's manual or on the current tyres before ordering.

What is the difference between 100/90ZR17, 100/90R17 and 100/90-17?+

The letter before the rim size shows the construction. ZR and R mean radial; a dash or B means bias-ply (crossply). Shops often write radials with a dash too, which is why we group every 100/90-17 listing on one page. Fit the construction your bike's manual specifies, and do not mix radial and bias between front and rear unless the manufacturer approves it.

Should I buy a tubeless (TL) or tube-type (TT) tyre?+

That depends on your rim, not the tyre size. Cast alloy wheels and spoked rims with sealed beds run tubeless (TL). Conventional spoked rims leak air at the nipples, so they need a tube even inside a tubeless tyre. A tube adds heat, so check that the tyre's speed rating still covers your bike when you run one.

When should I replace a motorcycle tyre in South Africa?+

The legal minimum in SA is 1mm of tread across the full width, but wet grip falls away well before that. Replace at around 2mm, when the rear squares off, after any puncture near the sidewall, or once the tyre is about five years old (check the four-digit DOT date on the sidewall) even if the tread looks fine.
