A vital factor of a bicycle and enjoying it are the wheels and the tyres.  Rubber tyres are a significant part of any vehicle as it is the contact point between the vehicle and the road surface. Bicycle tyres are the only part that requires constant change and it’s vital to know the correct tyre which matches your riding preferences.

Types of Bicycle Tyres

Bicycle tyres come in various styles and types like ATB Tyres, MTB Tyres, Race Tyres, BMX Tryes and Trek Tyres.

A wise way to choose a replacement is to get an identical one, however there are many upgrades available and few easy tips you can rely on and your tyres can last longer than usual.

Right Tread

The right tread is essential, especially for mountain bikes however if you ride mostly on city roads or smooth pavements, then getting a mountain bike tread will slow your speed, due to the characteristic slowness of a thick treaded mountain tyre. It’s imperative to determine your style of riding and the tread type.

Width & Inner Tubes

Similarly, opting for the correct width and inner tubes is as vital. Using a tyre which has a very thick tread can result in wasting excessive energy while propelling a bicycle or even a tyre which is too thin or too wide can make your bicycle unbalanced.

Inner tubes are interchangeable and one doesn’t need to overspend. Although, many manufacturers may claim that certain tubes are precisely engineered for some tyres, this is not always the truth, as logically speaking, if any sharp object can penetrate through the casing of the tyres, it will surely work its way past an inner tube. Depending on which terrain you like to cruise on, choosing the right kind of tyres can be very simple and riding will surely be joyous.
