Tyres are one of the most important purchases on a motorcycle. Having the wrong tyres can cause all sorts of problems with handling and premature wear. Radial, cross ply or bias belted? Is it the correct speed and weight rating? The number of times we have seen tyres fitted the wrong way on rims, under inflated, wrong speed rating, too wide for the rim and catching the belt, over size or just plain worn below legal limit (1mm) is in the hundreds.
Below is a picture of the information you will need to order a tyre. If you think that you may have the wrong sizes on we can always check for you.
Cross-ply – Cross-ply motorcycle tyres are those that require an inner tube. Crafted from a weave of cords beneath the rubber, they are strong, thick and, thanks to the inner tube, comfortable to ride, making them common on cruisers and slower bikes.
Bias belted – Bias belt tyres are a type of cross-ply that feature extra cords within the centre of the tyre to support extra weight.
Radial – Radial tyres are those that do not require an inner tube. A newer motorbike tyre design than cross-ply, they feature a central belt that holds up the rest of the tyre. This makes them very rigid but does improve steadiness, especially under extreme cornering lean angles and speeds. That means they’re the tyre of choice for sports bikes that are relied on to precisely respond to the rider.
