- January 13, 2013, 14:41:19 PMHey Rat, was told by my mechanic all spoked rims need a inner tube, therefore TT is what you would need.
What's the diff between a TL & TT construction???
TL: Tubeless (TL): Tubeless tyre - Tubetype (TT): Tubetype tyre

That being said, Metzeler allows you to use a TL tire if you use a new Metzler tube and
stay under 230 km/h

REINF TL, I couldn't find anything either.

- January 13, 2013, 12:52:15 PMI have a tire question before I order new ones.
Present tires are Maxxis Classic
Front 130/90 - 16 67H
Rear 140/90 - 16 77H
I would like to put on the Metzler 880 ME
Front 130/90 - 16 TL 67H
Rear 140/90 - 16 REINFTL 73H
I have tried to find out what all them extra letters are, the TL and the REINFTL, ok does anyone have a proper answer......found a few but I could not muddle through the stuff they were sprouting, in plain Canadian would be nice. Thanks.
