BIG BIG TYRES


Buying new motorcycle tires ain't what it used to be. In fact, it can be downright intimidating if you're not up to date with the current vernacular that surrounds motorcycle tires: V or Z ratings, 180s, 240s, radial or bias ply, load indexes, speed ratings - see what I mean? It's easy to get overwhelmed by the wealth of information that's out there. So Motorcycle USA wants to ease the pain of the process by offering a basic guide for knowing when it's time to break open the wallet and come up with a few dollars to throw down for some new motorcycle tires.Motorcycle tires are often ignored and underappreciated, which isn't the smartest of decisions since they are the intermediary between you and a face-full of asphalt. Even more than with automobiles, running on the proper motorcycle tires is paramount to safe transportation. The right motorcycle tires can also mean the difference between being crowned MotoGP World Champion or settling for runner-up - just ask Valentino Rossi. Even if you're not looking to drag a knee at Sepang, it's just as imperative for the layman rider to keep their motorcycle tires in the best possible working condition.
