Are you interested in the tire model for your motorcycle? We will help you!

Since a standard motorcycle has only two wheels, it is extremely important to choose the right tires for it in order to provide the best grip, ride and handling, thereby increasing road safety.

Depending on the purpose of the motorcycle, many tire manufacturers divide them into tires for road, off-road / enduro and racing motorcycles, for mopeds and scooters, for cruisers and touring bikes, for sports motorcycles, ATVs and choppers.

First of all, each tire has a different rim diameter, so when buying tires, make sure you get the necessary information from the technical documentation of your motorcycle. This parameter is measured in inches and ranges from 8 to 21. When choosing tires for motorcycles, you will see a marking on their sidewalls, which, in addition to the diameter include width (typically 50 to 330 mm), height ratio profile expressed as a percentage of width (from 30 to 600 mm), speed index (in km/h) and load index (in kg). So, the tire may have the following markings on the sidewall: 185/70 ZR17 M / C (58W), where 185 is its width, 70 is a height of 129,5 mm, Z is a speed index of +240 km / h, R is a radial tire, 17 inch diameter, M/C abbreviation for "motorcycles only" and 58 maximum load capacity of 236 kg. Another parameter to consider is the season for which the tire is designed.

Summer, all-season and even winter tires are available. In addition, motorcycle tires can only be used on the front or rear axle or on both axles. Proper tire installation is essential for optimum motorcycle performance and handling. Motorcycle tires, like car tires, can have an inner tube or be tubeless. They can also be distinguished by a tread pattern that can be complex with a large number of grooves and sipes, as well as completely smooth. Whether your bike is a small city cruiser or a powerful chopper, you will find the right tires for your car in our online shop.
