Know and understand types of tires

Motorcycle manufacturers are currently generally issuing motor racing wheels as a standard manufacturer. As a result, motorcycle tires used are tubeless tires. However, many motorcyclists do not know that there are three types of tubeless motorcycle tires that differ from each other, as follows.

• Wet type tubeless tires

This type of tire is specially conditioned for wet and slippery roads. Wet type tubeless tires usually have a larger tire groove all way to edge of tire. This type of tire groove aims to remove water when tire passes through wet and watery road terrain so that tire does not slip easily. However, keep in mind, wet type tubeless tires will quickly wear out if used on dry road conditions.

• Dry type tubeless tires

This type of tire is specially conditioned for dry roads such as urban areas. Dry-type tubeless tires usually have few grooves and are reliable in cornering without worrying about slipping or slipping. However, dry type tires will be slippery and easy to slip when on slippery, watery, or wet roads.

• Normal type tubeless tires

This type of tire has ability to ride on dry and wet road terrain. This type of tire is in great demand by motorcyclists because it is suitable for Indonesian climate. Motorcycle tire manufacturers usually write type of tire and tire specifications on seal. Types of tires are usually written with code dry, wet, and wet dry. If you are in doubt, you can ask to seller directly so you don't make wrong choice.

Know identity of motorcycle tires

The next way to choose a good motorcycle tire is to know the identity of manufacture of motorcycle tire. Identity of a motorcycle tire is usually in form of year tire was produced, brand, and reputation. Year of manufacture of tire is usually written as a numeric code and can be found on product seal and on rim of tire. Choose tires that are manufactured by best brands and have standards set by your country.

Adjusting size of motorcycle wheels

Motorcycle wheels consist of wheels and tires. Often we meet motorists who modify size of wheels and tires of motorcycle. A common mistake from modification is size of tires and wheels that do not match, so that motorcycle tires cannot be used after being purchased.

Motorcycle tires that are too small will make distance between wheels and tires only a little space. As a result, impact will feel hard when passing through an uneven road. Then you are advised to buy tires that match size of motorcycle wheels.

Buy according to your budget

Just like other commercial products, motorcycle tires also have various classes and prices. Manufacturers of imported motorcycle tires are indeed more expensive because of their proven quality and reputation. However, current production quality of local motorcycle tires is no less good. So adjust to your budget when buying motorcycle tires.
