About Motorcycle Tires

Motorcycle tires are the only thing between you and the road, and the contact patch is about the size of a credit card. Every input goes through it. Braking, cornering, acceleration. That is why buying from the right shop matters.

If you need help narrowing down sizes, tread patterns, or the right tire for your riding style, our Canadian customer service team is ready to help.

What size motorcycle tire do I need?

Your motorcycle requires a specific tire size listed in your owner’s manual or on the sidewall of your current tires (e.g., 120/70ZR17). This number defines width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter. Always match manufacturer specs unless you fully understand the impact on handling and clearance.

How long do motorcycle tires last?

Most motorcycle tires last 3,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on riding style, tire type, and road conditions. Sport tires wear faster, while touring tires are designed for longevity. Aggressive riding, heavy loads, and poor maintenance will shorten lifespan.

How do I know when to replace my motorcycle tires?

Replace your tires if you notice tread worn down to wear bars, cracks or dry rot, sidewall damage, flat spots, or reduced grip. Even if they appear fine, tires older than 5–7 years should be replaced due to rubber degradation.

What tire pressure should I run?

Use the recommended pressure from your motorcycle manufacturer, not the number on the tire sidewall. This is usually found on a sticker near the swingarm or in the manual. Always check pressure when tires are cold and adjust for passengers or cargo if specified.

Can you repair a motorcycle tire safely?

Temporary repairs like plugs can help you get home, but they are not considered a permanent solution for most riders. For safety, especially at highway speeds, many manufacturers recommend replacing a punctured tire instead of relying on a repair.

Can I put a wider tire on my motorcycle?

It’s possible, but not recommended unless approved for your bike. Wider tires can negatively affect handling, reduce stability, and cause clearance issues. Sticking to OEM sizes ensures proper performance and safety.

What’s the difference between sport and touring tires?

Sport tires offer maximum grip and performance but wear quickly. Touring tires prioritize longevity and stability for long-distance riding. Sport-touring tires provide a balance of both, making them ideal for mixed use.

What do the numbers on a motorcycle tire mean?

For example, 120/70ZR17: 120 is the width in millimeters, 70 is the aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width), ZR indicates speed rating/type, and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches. These numbers ensure proper fit and performance.
