Collection: Tires

Tires are an essential component of any bike. They support you and your bike frame gliding across the road. Bike tires range in prices from $75 to upwards of $150, but don't cheap out when it comes to quality. High-quality bike tires can help keep you safer and maximize your riding ability! Here is how you can pick the best tires for your bike on your own.

Types of Bike Tires

The type of bike tires you have will impact the way your bike performs on rides! There are two main types of terrain you will be riding on. Determining the more common terrain will narrow down your tire search!

Road

Riding your bike to and from school or work? It is likely that you will be riding mostly on the road. To get the most out of your tires, you should look into tires optimized for typical road conditions and configurations.

Dirt

Riding in the dirt generally means you have a specialized bike with different body dimensions. Having tires that can help you make it through off-road conditions is essential to bike longevity, especially for your personal safety!

Choosing the Right Bike Tires

Choosing the right bike tires will extend the life of any bike and keep you behind the handlebars longer!

The wider the bike tires, the more grip you'll get on most surfaces. Wider tires also mean your ride might be a bit smoother.  For most riders, huge wide tires are not necessary unless you're riding on gravel, sand, snow, or very uneven surfaces. Check with us at Sendit Gear if you are very unsure about your tire width.

Just like regular vehicle wheels, the kind of tread on your bike tires will impact the grip on whatever terrain you are on. For off-road bikers, the wider the knobs 

For road bikers, the less tread, the faster you will ride, but the harder it might be to stop or grip onto uneven surfaces. The safest bet for road bikers is semi-slick tires, this way, you have some grip on the road without slowing you down.
