How do I make sense of Bontrager Tire Models? Looking at different tires from Trek, they have names like T2, R3, AW1, but I can't find anywhere that decodes these names and tells me the difference between one or the other.
They are indicators of what product line Trek is placing each tire in. For example, R=road, AW=all weather, t=Touring, XR=cross road (or something like that, indicating smaller tread that is not too big for mixed road riding) G=gravel and so on. I would say that these prefixes don't really mean much, just choose a tire that is appropriate for the type of riding you will be doing.
