Hardly any other part on a motorcycle and scooter has more influence on driving dynamics and driving safety than the tire. The tires create direct contact between two-wheelers and the road. There is an immense amount of responsibility on them - braking, acceleration, stability and cornering forces. They provide motorcycles and scooters with the necessary grip and the associated stability at every speed in every situation, in every position and in different weather conditions.

The tire dimension, a number/letter code that adorns the jacket, i.e. the side of each tire, indicates, which tires are to use for your motorcycle or scooter in daily traffic in order to always stay in lane. Tire width in millimeters, the ratio of cross-section to width in percent, the construction (diagonal or radial), rim diameter in inches, the load index and the speed index are all communicated to the trained eye.

The profile of the tire is also important and decides on which surface you find optimal adhesion. With classic road tires you tend to tear little in the field, conversely, with off-road tires you quickly reach your limits on a motorway.

A change for normal road tires is due when the minimum tread depth is reached and the tire is worn out. Incorrect tire pressure can increase tire wear. If you only rarely get to drive, manufacturers recommend a change after five to six years, even if the minimum tread depth has not yet been reached. The hardening of the rubber compound changes the driving behavior of tires over the years.
