How to choose motorcycle tires?

Choosing the right motorcycle tires can have a big impact on your riding experience, as well as your safety on the road. Here are some factors to consider when choosing motorcycle tires:

Consider what type of riding you do most often. Are you a sport rider who likes to push the limits on twisty roads or a rider who enjoys long distance touring? Different tire types are designed to perform better in different conditions.
Make sure you choose tires that are the right size and fitment for your motorcycle. This information can be found in your motorcycle´s owner manual or by consulting a tire size chart.
You have to choose the types of motorcycle tires. If your motorcycle wheels have spokes like a bike, you likely require tires with an inner tube but if your motorcycle has cast wheels, you’ll likely utilize tubeless tires.
Tires are typically either bias ply or radial construction. Radial tires offer better handling and stability at high speeds, while bias ply tires may be better suited for heavier loads.
Another thing to consider is tread and pattern. Tread is the portion of the tire that arrives in touch with the road. The grooves carved into that tread include the design. Some motorcycle tires have 100 percent tread with no pattern. Tread is what brings the work done; on a road tire, a pattern is made only to keep water away and hold a tire from failing its grasp when wet.
Choose motorcycle tires that have a vertical sidewall and the tread is rounded. This form allows a motorcycle’s tires to remain in connection with the road and maintain traction when the motorcycle bends through a turn.
The brands that offer motorcycle tires are Mitas, Continental, Heidenau, Michelin, and Maxxis.
