Motorcycle Tires
We carry a full assortment of motorcycle tires by Dunlop, Bridgestone, Michelin, Avon, Pirelli, and Metzler all at discount prices.
Motorcycle tires have come a long way since the early days. When motorcycles first came in to use a regular bicycle tire was about all that was used. Sometimes even just a piece of hose wrapped around the rim was all that was available in Europe during world war II. Now motorcycle tires are as sophisticated as the bikes themselves. There are all kinds of different tire compounds from super soft and sticky to hard and just a bit sticky. Many different applications exist today for motorcycle tires. Some are made for track days, touring, sport touring and cruising as well. Tire compounds on motorcycle tires are constantly changing. Bike racing is fueling this development. There are constant changes and adjustments made to tire technology from the compounds to tread patterns, carcasses are stiffened and anything possible to give track riders a little edge over the competition. Which means lots of choices for the rest of us that tool around or that are amateurs or canyon chasers. As long as racing continues bike tires are going to develop in to the best rubber you can put on your bike. Regretfully Michelin has pulled out of the Superbike World Champion Ships because the series has decided to only let one tire be used for the series. This really is not conducsive to true racing tire manufacturers have always competed against each other in this series which in turn has helped develop the nicest sticky buns for us riders. A little healthy competition helps to drive this kind of development in my opinion.
