How to Get Sport Bike Tires

Tires are some of the most important aspects of your sport bike. The right tire can make your sport bike faster and handle better. You must pay attention to the details of your bike and your tire choices to determine which tire is best for your needs.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Go to bike stores to find a variety of different tires. Speak with a professional to discuss tire performance and which type of tires work best with your skill level and riding preferences.

2. Think about shape. Round up a tire and you will change the speed of your turn as you ride your sport bike.

3. Ask about the compound used in tires. Extra stickiness in the tire compound allows more control in a turn but don't last as long.

4. Match the tires to your bike suspension. You considered this when you chose your bike, so why not now? Overlapping plies on the tires give a great grip while a jointless belt construction is more stable.

5. Consider how and where you plan to do most of your riding. High performance street tires are a good overall choice. You can enjoy constant performance and go through many heat cycles with street tires on your sport bike.
