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.
