Motorcycle tyres from A to Z

The requirements for motorcycle tyres are usually very demanding.

This type of tyre should ensure proper grip, excellent steering precision and exceptional driving comfort. Motorcycle tyres should also be designed to efficiently disperse water. They must be made of quality materials adapted to long-distance driving, and therefore resistant to wear and damage. Importantly, the tyres also affect the performance of the motorbike.

Motorcycle tyre set

Motorcycle tyres are typically divided into front tyres and rear tyres. The intended use of the tyre is determined by the tyre manufacturer – it is absolutely crucial to follow these recommendations. This has a huge impact on the behaviour of the motorcycle, and therefore on the safety of the driver.

The rear and front tyres are different. They can be made of different rubber compounds. Why? They are responsible for different aspects of performance; for example, front tyres handle most of the braking force. In turn, the rear ones transfer the rotational force from the engine to the road.

To ensure the highest level of safety, tyres must be fitted as intended. In most cases, there are front and rear tyres, and they should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
