What are the best tyres for my bike?
Tyres are very important parts of a bike as they are the contact point between the bike and the road. Like bikes, bike tyres come in a huge range of sizes and treads, so making the correct choice is vital for performance and safety. The type of riding you are doing will affect your tyre choice. Road tyres – perfect for both road users and racers, but road users should choose ‘clincher’ road tyres – with an inner tube and which hook onto the rim, while racers should choose ‘tubular’ road tyres which are glued to the rim and have no inner tube. » ATB tyres – also have 2 types. Use ATB slick tyres for if you have a mountain bike that you mostly use on roads and ATB off-road tyres are designed for serious off-road mountain bikers. They come in a variety of treads, patterns and widths to give you maximum control. » Hybrid tyres – ideal for urban riding or touring as they offer a good puncture resistance but are still lightweight and roll nicely.
