Bicycle Tire

A quality bicycle tire is essential for both comfort and safety. A worn tire could cause a serious safety risk if it were to blow out at the wrong time. Not to mention that worn tread is more prone to slippage, which can easily cause an accident.

Knowing the correct size is important when shopping for a new bicycle tire. Tires come in many different sizes and designs, and are based on the size of wheel of the particular bike it is to be used on. Obviously, the larger the wheel, the larger the required tire.

A bicycle tire can also have varying tread designs. For most road and commuter bikes, a somewhat smooth tread is the norm. However, mountain and BMX bikes utilize a much more aggressive tread due to their off road use.
