Abstract: To provide good handling behavior for a motorcycle, the belt of the rear motorcycle tire has threads extending parallel to the equatorial plane and the slip angles of the tires as a function of the camber (slip angle .delta. as a function of camber angle .gamma.) are such that the difference: front slip angle .delta.2 minus rear slip angle .delta.1 as a function of camber angle .gamma. is an invariably increasing function of .gamma..
