These are the two most important criteria that you should check.<\/p>\n<p>You will also pay special attention to the weight of your vehicle. If the machine is<strong> less than 250 kg<\/strong>If you have a car that weighs a lot more, you need to look at specific tires such as GTs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Des_pneus_pour_sa_moto_sport\"><\/span>Tires for your sport bike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a sporty motorcycle, you have a wide range offered:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dual compound road tires,<\/li>\n<li>sport tires,<\/li>\n<li>hyper sport tires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each type has a specific use. If you are going to use your motorcycle only on the road, the <strong>tires<\/strong> <strong>bi rubber road <\/strong>will be perfect for you. They are hard and solid in the center, and a bit soft on the sides, but of course, they will not perform as well as sport tires. The latter give you a much better feeling on the road, and<strong> much more grip. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As far as longevity is concerned, sport tires last longer, but this is because they are much more expensive, so the materials used are not the same.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to use your motorcycle on a regular track, these sport tires will not be enough, you will need <strong>competition tires,<\/strong> <strong>says: hypersports. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pneu_de_chemin_de_route_ou_de_trail\"><\/span>Road, trail or track tire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As explained above, you should choose your tires according to your use. If you only use your motorcycle on the road, it is advisable to choose tires dedicated to this use, namely<strong> road tires. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can also find <strong>trail road tires<\/strong>. Then we have tires designed for \"road\" use at 60 % and road at 40 %. These tires are effective on both dry and gravel roads, but do not grip wet roads.<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least, tires designed for the \"road\" at 40 % and 60 % for \"road\", which have the advantage of being grippier on wet roads, but less effective on tracks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_roadsters_un_melange_entre_les_differentes_matieres\"><\/span>Roadsters: a mix of different materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For roadsters, things are a bit different!
