Motorcycle Tires Q & A
Introduction
Motorcycle enthusiasts often have many questions about their bikes, especially regarding parts like tires. Here, we address some of the most common queries about motorcycle tires.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Are New Tires Better?
New tires are preferable because they are organic and decompose over time. Older tires are prone to outgassing, which makes them brittle and less safe.
2. What Is the Right Tire Age?
Generally, newer tires are better. While the age of a tire affects its longevity, it's crucial not to use tires older than six or seven years. Check the manufacturing date on the sidewall, indicated by a three- or four-digit number. For example, "2101" means the tire was made in the 21st week of 2001.
3. What About Size and Pressure?
Always follow the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure for safety and performance. You might adjust slightly for specific performance needs, but regular pressure checks are essential.
4. What Should I Do If I Get a Flat Tire?
Motorcycle tires provide less stability than car tires, so if you have a flat, it's best to replace the tire rather than just plug it.
5. When Is It Time for a Replacement?
Replacement depends on several factors. Front tires may show wear even if the rubber looks intact and might develop uneven surfaces known as cupping or scalloping. These are signs that it's time for a new tire.
6. Where Should I Buy Tires?
Purchase tires from reputable motorcycle stores known for their quality products. Buying online is an option, but it doesn’t guarantee fresh stock. In-store purchases allow you to inspect and select the freshest tires while comparing prices and quality.
Conclusion
Understanding the importance of tire condition is crucial for motorcycle safety and performance. Keep these tips in mind when maintaining or purchasing motorcycle tires to ensure the best riding experience.
