Why are motorcycle tires important?

Tires are an important part of what defines the shape and balance of a motorcycle or scooter.

Did you know?

Tires play an essential role because they are the only link between the vehicle and the road.
Your tire contact patch is not much bigger than a credit card.

And they have a big job to do!

  • Transferring the power of the engine to the road

  • Absorbing the impact of irregular road surfaces

  • Carrying the load of the whole vehicle

  • Providing excellent grip on dry and wet surfaces

  • Meeting the demands of braking and acceleration

  • Steering by responding to the movements of the steering system
