Sep 23, 2022 · Keep these points in mind as we run through the different types of bike tires, and how these factors affect the speed and handling of the bike: tread pattern, tire width, bike handling, and puncture resistance.
Sep 14, 2024 · What Are Some Good Bicycle Tire Brands (And Where To Shop)? Bike tires differ from one brand to another in terms of quality, durability, and performance. Every brand uses different rubber compounds to make its tires. Plus, different types of bike tires are made to fit different needs.

- Your best choice is to buy them at a local bike shop or online if you find better deals there.
- Bike tires do not come in pairs generally, but it’s a good idea to read the product description and know what you’re going to get.

- This is a type of tire that features aramid-fiber base instead of a wire base, so it is more flexible and can be folded and transported more easily.

If you are a fast rider or racer and your tire pressure is set right, choosing between tubeless bike tires that give you the right aerodynamic relationship with your rims matters most and should be where you start. Once you’ve got that dialed in, you can pick between tires that provide the best road feel (comfort, handling, grip), the lowest tire-l...
5. Puncture resistance
Of course, one of the main reasons to go tubeless is to protect yourself against punctures. When you puncture a tubeless road tire with sealant, the best measure is how quickly and well the sealant fills it. This is puncture resilience, the ability of your tire to recover from a puncture. On the other hand, puncture resistance, the ability of a tire to initially resist a puncture, is important if you have no recourse other than to get off your bike and replace your tube. Puncture resistanceis...
6. Weight
One of the arguments for tubeless road tires is that they weigh less than clinchers. This isn’t the case, at least not comparing different tubeless and sealant vs. tubed clincher setups. The actual weight of the 25mm tires in this review (one is actually labeled 26mm) ranges from 233 to 267 grams and averages 253 grams. Add to that average another 30 grams for an ounce (30ml) of sealant and another 7 grams for the tubeless valve. That adds up to 290 grams. As a reference, a top everyday clinc...
7. Wear
The good news about riding different wheels and tires all the time is that my fellow testers and I get to try out and evaluate a lot of new gear and report that to you. The bad news is that we don’t get to ride any set of tires for more than 1,000 miles and spend a lot of time installing and removing them to test others. Other than a tire that wears quickly or cuts easily within our testing period, I can’t really offer my own opinion on tire wear or whether one model lasts 2,500 miles while a...
The chart below shows the relative ratings of tubeless road bike tires we’ve evaluated using the criteria I’ve written about above for what matters most and what matters less. A “o” rating means that the tire performed similarly to most of those we evaluated. Those that performed better get a “+” rating; those that performed worse get a “-.” In the...

How to choose the best tyres for your bike. Tyres are a bike’s only point of contact with the surface – so they’re important! They affect grip, handling and comfort, so choosing the right set of tyres for your bike will make a big difference. However, the world of bike tyres can be confusing.
