The reason for this certificate is mainly a missing speed limit on german
highways. In all other European countries you have this speed limit and so
even if your AT runs 180km/h you are not officially allowed to ride so
fast. This means that your tyres don"t have to stay this AT"s top speed.
However, the two tyres printed in your manual are just those allowed "by
factory". In the FAQ you can find a paper which allows you the use of
some other tested (by the TUEV) tyres. But for you as a tourist: No
problem at all. Just use the tyre which is allowed in your home country.
