Motorcycle tires are outside the EU labelling regulation, so there are no published grades to compare this against.
LiveWire One tires
The LiveWire One runs one fitment, 120/70 ZR17 58W. It is staggered: a 120 section at the front and a 180 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tire size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 onwards | One | 17in cast | 120/70 ZR17 front, 180/55 ZR17 rear | 58 | W | SL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the a plate on the swingarm, and the owner's manual. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tire.
What it left the factory on
Homologated by LiveWire, from their own published data. These are the specific builds the car was approved on, and the same pattern sold in the shops is frequently built differently: a different load index, a different construction, sometimes a different compound. Where the two differ, the figures below are the bar a replacement has to clear, not a description of what you will be sold.

What changes on this machine
Shares its 120/70 and 180/55 pairing with most of the 17 inch electric motorcycle class, which means it is one of the better supplied fitments in this lane.
Came from the factory on a sport compound, which is a deliberate choice about the first corner rather than the ten thousandth mile. A touring tire in the same size will last considerably longer and feel slower to warm.
Harley-Davidson publish the original fitment as a Michelin Scorcher Sport, 58W front and 73W rear. That is a sport compound chosen for how the machine behaves in the first corner, and a touring tire in the same sizes will last considerably longer.

Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.

Common questions
- What size tires does the LiveWire One take?
- It runs 120/70 ZR17. The exact fitment for your machine is on A plate on the swingarm, and the owner's manual.
- Can I fit a cheaper tire to a LiveWire One?
- Only at 120/70 ZR17 58W or better. That is the figure to hold: a tire below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
