What This Size Means
90 = tread width in millimetres. 90 = aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 90% of the tread width (81 mm). R = radial construction (or bias-ply if dash-indicated). 18 = wheel rim diameter in inches (457 mm).
Editor's Technical Insight
The Honda Shine 125 holds the undisputed crown as India's best-selling 125cc motorcycle, celebrated for its butter-smooth eSP (enhanced Smart Power) counterbalanced engine and exceptional reliability. Current factory specifications feature an 80/100-18 47P tubeless tyre at the front paired with a wider 90/90-18 51P tyre at the rear, mounted on lightweight split 5-spoke alloy wheels. The wider 90mm rear section increases load-bearing capacity and enhances traction under sudden acceleration and braking. The 18-inch rolling diameter provides a shallow angle of attack against speed humps, potholes, and broken rural culverts, ensuring a calm, stable ride that doesn't jostle the rider's wrists. Honda equips the Shine with low-rolling-resistance (HET) tyre compounds from factory suppliers like MRF and TVS Eurogrip to maximize fuel efficiency. Honda prescribes 25 psi at the front and 29 psi at the rear for solo riding, but with a pillion passenger, elevating the rear tyre to 36 psi is critical to prevent the rear Combi-Brake System (CBS) from dragging or locking up under hard pedal input.
