Tyres

How important is maintaining the correct tyre pressure?

Very! Tyre pressure is one of the most important maintenance tasks you should perform before every ride. Although the carcass and overall structure of the tyre has a significant effect on the overall performance of the tyre, for it to function properly you must have sufficient air pressure in the tyre.

We recommend that you check your air pressure before every ride, especially when carrying a load. Every 4 psi of air lost in the tyre translates to approximately 25 to 30 kilogram reduction in load carrying capacity. For example, if your tyre pressure is 34 psi, instead of a recommended 41 psi, you would need to take 55 to 65 kilograms of load off of the motorcycle. Never exceed the maximum load capacity that is stamped on the sidewall of the tyre at the recommended air pressure.

Another reason proper air pressure is so important is to ensure proper handling of the motorcycle. Never over-inflate a tyre, as over-inflation of a tyre may reduce the contact patch. Likewise, under-inflation generates uneven contact pressure and support. Both conditions negatively affect the handling and stability of the motorcycle.

What type of sidewall protectants or cleaners can I use on my tyres?

We recommend that you only use a mild soap solution to clean your sidewalls and whitewalls. Then rinse with plain water.

When choosing replacement tyres, what is the best method of selecting the right size and type of tyres for my motorcycle?

We recommend that you first consult the owner’s manual for your motorcycle to find the original size of the front and rear tyres. Once you know the sizes, it is imperative that you only purchase tyres of the same size recommended in the owner’s manual.

When should you replace motorcycle tyres?

Motorcycle tyres should be replaced when their performance, tread depth, or overall condition no longer ensures safe riding. Here are the key signs it’s time for a replacement:

  • If the tread is worn down to the legal limit (usually 1.5 mm for most motorcycles), the tyres need replacing. Many tyres have built-in wear indicators to help you assess their condition.
  • Look for uneven patterns like cupping or bald spots. These often result from underinflation, misalignment, or suspension issues, indicating the tyre’s performance is compromised.
  • Even if the tread looks fine, tyres should typically be replaced every 5–7 years. Over time, the rubber hardens and loses flexibility, reducing grip and performance. Check the manufacturing date on the tyre’s sidewall to confirm its age.
  • Cuts, cracks, or bulges in the tyre can be dangerous and often mean the tyre has weakened structurally. If you notice any damage, it is crucial that you replace the tyre immediately.

How long does motorcycle tyre fitting take?

The time required for motorcycle tyre shop fitting depends on factors like the type of tyre, the condition of the wheel, and whether balancing is included. Tyre fitting and balancing take approximately 30 to 45 minutes per wheel. At Tyreman M/C, we prioritise precision and care, ensuring your tyres are fitted securely and balanced perfectly for optimal safety and performance. The total time will vary for multiple tyres, but we always aim for efficiency without sacrificing quality.

How much is tyre fitting and balancing?

At Tyreman M/C, we offer competitive pricing for expert tyre fitting and balancing; however, this price varies depending on the specifics of your ride. Contact us for tailored quotes based on your specific needs!

How often should motorcycle tyres be balanced?

Motorcycle tyres should ideally be balanced every time a new tyre is installed or after any significant wear or damage to the tyre. Regular checks, such as every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres or during scheduled maintenance, can also help ensure optimal performance and reduce uneven tyre wear.

How much does wheel balancing cost?

The cost of wheel balancing can vary depending on the type of motorcycle and specific requirements. At Tyreman M/C, we pride ourselves on offering competitive and transparent pricing for our tyre balancing services. Contact us directly for an accurate quote tailored to your bike’s needs.

How long do motorcycle tyres last?

The lifespan of motorcycle tyres depends on factors like riding habits, road conditions, and tyre quality. On average, most motorcycle tyres last between 5,000 and 15,000 kilometres, but this varies based on the tyre type. 

Sport tyres, for instance, offer high performance but wear out faster (around 5,000–7,000 kilometres). Touring tyres are more durable, lasting up to 15,000 kilometres or more. Aggressive riding, frequent braking, and rough terrain can significantly reduce tyre life. Conversely, smooth roads and gentle riding help tyres last longer.

Can Tyreman balance both front and rear motorcycle tyres?

Absolutely! Our technicians are equipped to balance your motorcycle tyres with advanced equipment and techniques. We ensure each wheel is perfectly balanced to provide a smooth, safe, and enjoyable riding experience.
