Why it’s Important to Choose the Right Motorycle Gear Tyres

The importance of choosing the right set of Tyres for your bike cannot be overstated, and, the right set of motorcycle Tyres are waiting for you at AMX.

A quality set of Sport Tyres from a world class brand will have your bike operating at the top of its game, allowing you to get the most out of your bike. Backed by countless hours of research, development and testing, a good set of sports tyres will keep an extremely high level of grip when being ridden hard and you won’t have to deal with that “greasy” feeling lesser tyres develop when you’re riding in warmer weather.

Cruiser tyres are unique in that they are made to different specifications than most other tyres, due to the nature of a cruiser bike and how it’s ridden, being different to other bikes. Cruiser tyres have much stiffer side walls and overall compound than a standard road tyre, to handle the heavier weight of the bike, and provide as much consistency as possible through acceleration, braking and cornering, where the weight and torque is at its most prominent.

The right touring tyre will prepare your bike for any journey on tarmac you could possibly conceive, with total confidence. The Beauty of touring tyres is that they heat up extremely quickly in all conditions which gives you great grip right from the start of your ride. Touring tyres also have the best water dispersion properties of any style of road legal tyre as well as the ability to provide great feedback when cornering and the highest durability of most styles of road tyres.

The right off-road tyre for your bike will depend on what type of terrain you’re going to be riding on. Each brand makes its own respective compounds for the terrain, a good example of this is Bridgestone, who has one of the most straight forward ranges. Their Battlecross range features the X10, X20, X30 and X40 compounds, providing a tyre for just about every terrain. The X10 is the most suited for intermediate sand with its soft compound and paddle-like tread pattern. The x40 will give you smooth and consistent traction on hard-packed clay and Australia’s roughest motocross tracks.

The most important factor in choosing the right Adventure Tyre for your bike is to consider where you’re going to be riding. Will it be a 50/50 mix of dirt and road, or predominantly dirt? Each tyre has a preferred application. You’ll also have to decide whether you’ll use a tubed or tubeless tyre set up, with a tubeless system often preferred for easy repairs or required on full-sized adventure bikes.

If you’re unsure of your usage, always go for an even usage tyre.

Make sure you get the right tube the first time. Before buying a new tube, make sure to note the size of your current tube. You can do this by checking the sidewall of your current tyre, which will have the tube size listed. It should read like “110/80-19”. The last number “-19” tells you that the tyre is 19-inches and requires a 19-inch tube. Most 250 and 450 motocross bikes use a 21” tube in the front tyre, and 19” in the rear. It is also important note is that “enduro” or trial bike editions will often have an 18” tube.

Our Range of Motorycle Gear Tyres

Many sport tyres these days are created with the benefit of dual compound technology which provides a harder compound of rubber in the center of the tyre, to minimise your tyre from squaring off in the center, and a softer compound on the shoulders of the tyre that gives you more grip and feel when the bike is leaned over. Tyres such as the Bridgestone RS11 and Pirelli Supercorsa SP provide unrelenting grip in dry conditions from the center of the tyre all the way to the edges.

We have the perfect tyre to give your cruiser bike that finishing touch, so you can show it off with pride.
