Tires & Tubes

The right bicycle tire provides better grip, lower rolling resistance, and safer handling regardless of the surface. Tread pattern, rubber mixture, and tire width all affect everything from how fast the bike rolls to how safely it takes corners or brakes on wet ground.

A narrower tire with a smooth pattern often gives high speed and efficiency, while a wider tire with a coarser texture offers more comfort and grip. The pressure in the tire is also important – the right air pressure reduces the risk of punctures and improves road holding.
