Why it’s Important to Choose the Right Road Tyres
A good set of Sport Tyres should be in line with you and your bikes capabilities and choosing the right set of sport tyres can make or break how enjoyable your journey is. Whether you hit the twisties on the weekend, or commute to and from work, AMX offers a range of world class sport tyres that will have your sports bike always performing at its peak. Quality sports tyres will have extremely high levels of grip when being ridden hard, as opposed to other ranges of tyres, which when being pushed, especially in warmer weather, can overheat and start to feel “greasy”.
Cruiser tyres are in a class of their own, they’re made differently to most other tyres as the very nature of these bikes and how they’re ridden also differs from other styles of motorcycles. To handle the heavier weight of a cruiser, these tyres have much stiffer side walls and overall compound, which helps to keep your ride as consistent as possible through acceleration, braking and cornering.
Prepare your bike for any journey with a quality Touring Tyre which will heat up extremely quickly and start the ride off right with maximum grip. Touring tyres also have the best water dispersion properties of any style of road legal tyre, the ability to provide great feedback when cornering and the highest durability of most styles of road tyres.
Our Range of Road Tyres
We stock all the best brands of sport tyres, with the latest and greatest products from Bridgestone, Pirelli, Dunlop, Michelin and many more. A wide range of sport tyres feature dual compound technology, which gives riders the best of both worlds, the center is made from a harder compound of rubber, to minimise the chances of your tyre from squaring off in the center, which leads to scalloping and inconsistancies. The shoulders of the tyre are made from a softer compound, which provides more grip and feel when the bike is leaned over. If you prioritise grip over durability, tyres such as the Bridgestone RS11 and Pirelli Supercorsa SP will provide unrelenting grip in dry conditions from the center of the tyre, all the way to the edges.
