Buy motorbike tyres – have more fun on the road now

Whether you are riding on a country road, in the city or on mountain passes: The right choice of motorbike tyres provides the necessary grip.

Due to the abrasion on the road, tyres are among the most stressed parts of your bike. As soon as the tread starts to weaken, it makes sense to order new motorbike tyres so that your bike runs smoothly again.

When is a motorbike tyre worn out?

The legal minimum tread depth for a road bike is 1.6 mm. For light motorbikes it is set at 1 mm. In both cases, these are the absolute limits for tyre wear. If the tyre tread depth falls below this limit, your insurance cover will be affected. At the latest, you should change your tyres once the tread reaches 2 mm in order to maintain the grip and handling of your bike. Added to this is the safety factor on wet surfaces.

You can measure the tread depth in the middle area of the main tread in the wide grooves. The easiest way to do this is by using a 20p coin. If the outer band is not visible, everything is OK. Once it becomes visible, it is time to buy new motorbike tyres.

Tip: If you love winding roads, pay additional attention to the condition of
the lateral treads.

Breaking in new motorbike tyres

It is important to break in new tyres for motorbikes carefully. Freshly fitted, they still have a smooth surface with little grip. This is particularly noticeable in inclined positions – there is a risk that you will slip away if you ride carelessly.

Pay attention to the manufacturer’s specifications concerning the mileage in km that is necessary to break in the tyres according to past experience. Whether the new motorbike tyres develop their full potential from 50, 100 or 200 km depends on your riding style and the routes chosen for this phase.
