"The Motorbike Workshop - Motorcycle Tyres"
Any assessment of a bike’s handling inevitably includes, as a major component, the tyres fitted. The technology behind modern bike tyres is outstanding and development and improvement is seemingly unstoppable.
The thing about bike tyres is that the difference between a poor tyre and a good tyre may only be a couple of hundred dollars a set, yet it can also be the difference between still being on the bike or being off on side of the road.
Major manufacturers make a range of tyres so that you can select a tyre that is made for your style of riding, which may not necessarily be the same as the bikes design. You can ride any bike either hard or slow, but if your riding hard then you need a grippier, softer compound tyre or you will come unstuck no matter what bike your on.
If our commuting with your bike as your only means of transport, then a harder compound tyre may give you better mileage over a softer one, but you will be losing out in terms of braking and handling, especially in the wet. With traffic the way it is, this is of vital consideration when choosing which tyre is best for you.
The Motorbike Workshop is affiliated with all leading brand tyre manufacturers, from the performance sports tyres of Pirelli, Metzler and Mitchelin; Sports Touring from these plus those of Bridgestone and Dunlop; Classic treads from Metzler and Avon, or even racing slicks.
Your Dirt bike equally needs tyres that are made to suit the conditions in which you ride. Mud tyres don’t last that long on rocky terrain and visa versa, grip in mud means special treads.
If your competition riding, then you will probably need more than one set or you will find yourself doing it tough when conditions differ from your tyre set up.
The Motorbike Workshop can assess your tyre needs and recommend the right tyre for you, your bike and the type of riding you do. Best of all its Free.
All tyres fitted are balanced.
All new tyres need use to reach their full potential, on initial fitting they will be potentially quite slippery until they wear in – Judgments' vary on this anywhere between 50 and 100 kilometers for road tyres.
