How to choose motorcycle tires
Due to the fact that motorcycle tires are consumables, changing tires has become commonplace for motorcycle enthusiasts. Due to the different forces on the front and rear wheels, the wear on the rear wheels is always greater than that on the front wheels. Generally, changing two rear tires requires changing one front tire, or changing a few inner tires requires changing one outer tire. So, how do you choose a qualified tire? Perhaps you have no way to start with the diverse types of tires in the motorcycle market.
When selecting tires, their specifications must not be wrong. Even if the tire width is narrower and the specifications are correct, they can be used. However, if the specifications are incorrect, either they cannot be installed or they are too loose to be used. This has caused unnecessary economic losses. After determining the correct specifications, the width of the tires should be considered. In my opinion, if the economy allows, it is advisable to choose wider tires as much as possible, because the contact surface between the wide tires and the ground is large, and the grip is good. This can effectively transmit driving and braking forces, allowing the engine to perform well and improving driving smoothness, comfort, and safety. Finally, we have to look at the tire pattern, which is still the determining factor
An important indicator of tire performance,
The shape of the tread determines its drainage and ability to remove other debris, as well as its grip performance. Therefore, choosing the appropriate tread pattern is very important. There are dozens of tread patterns on tires of the same specification, and the appropriate tread pattern should generally be selected based on the actual situation of motorcycle enthusiasts. If you often drive on mountainous, muddy, snowy, icy roads, etc., you should choose off-road tires with wide and deep tread patterns, because the tread is too deep and wide. Under the rotation of the wheel, the centrifugal force makes it easier to drain water and other debris, making the tire better in contact with the ground. If you frequently drive on the road, you should choose a tire with a tighter groove, such as a ring or arrow shape. This type of tire has a large contact surface with the ground when driving on highways, making it safer than other tires. Motorcycle enthusiasts with good conditions can choose high grip tires. Although this type of tire has a higher wear rate, it is definitely a high-performance tire with excellent drainage and adhesion, making it a safe tire.
