Choosing motorcycle tyresUpdated an hour ago
Types of tyres
- Sport: grip and handling for high-performance bikes, best in the dry.
- Touring: stability and durability for long rides, with good wet and dry traction.
- Off-road / knobby: traction and control on dirt and gravel.
- Dual-sport: a mix of road and off-road features.
- Cruiser: stability and comfort for long-distance cruising.
What to consider
- The type of riding you do.
- The correct size and fitment for your bike. Always match your motorcycle's recommended tyre size.
- Your budget.
- The weather conditions you ride in.
Looking after your tyres
Inspect them regularly for uneven wear or sidewall cracks, and keep them at the correct pressure.
