Looking at this diagram from the Bridgestone website, what does FR and RR mean?

FR - front
RR - rear

Really? That's a stupid abbreviation for "rear".

Thanks for clarifying!

Front Radial
Rear Radial

Front Radial
Rear Radial

That makes more sense! Thank you!

Don't see what "radial" has to do with that graph. I'm sticking to front and rear.

I'm pretty sure it's Front engine Rear wheel drive, Rear engine Rear wheel drive. FF would be Front engine, Front wheel drive

of course that would be for cars...

As the graph relates to a Motorcycle tire...

FR = Front (and/or Front Radial)
RR = Rear (and/or Rear Radial)

tires (or tyres) are commonly referred to as radials. ever hear someone say "just slapped some new radials on"

Never.

I wouldn't put too much faith in those graphs, they look like marketing gee-wizardry to me.

Yup, was trying to figure out what science may have gone into them, and decided that none did.
