Types of Motorcycle Tires

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. Alright, there's all types of different tires. You have some that's an all around tire, you got some for performance, you got some for speed, you have a front tire and a rear. What we're doing is changing the rear right now. So I'm going to look through all these types of tires and find a rear tire. It's important you get a rear tire and not a front tire because some of these front tires look just like rear tires. So I'm going to look for a rear tire for the bike we're using. We're going to need a 180 tire with a sixteen inch rim. So you want to make sure you got the rim size and the tire size needed. So I'm going to go through here. The smaller ones, obviously here is front. So I'm not going to need that. This one right here is a front. It kind of looks like it could be a rear, but it says front on the label. So I can't use a front tire. All these, on the labels say front, so I'm going to go to the rears. These are the rears. You also have a white wall, a thin white wall and a big white wall or just plain black wall tire. And he wants an all black tire, so we're going to go with a black tire. For instance, here's the narrow white wall tire, which he doesn't want. So we're going to go with the all black. But here's a big white wall tire. It has the white wall. But he just wants all black, so we're going to go with this one right here. Alright, so this is the one we need. I'm going to go ahead and put it on the rim and put it back onto the bike."
