Bike tyres come in a variety of subtypes, each designed to cater to specific cycling needs and preferences. Wired-on tires, also known as clincher tires, are the most common and feature a wire bead for secure rim attachment. Folding tires, similar to clinchers, use a Kevlar bead, making them lighter and easier to transport. Tubeless tires, gaining popularity for their reliability, eliminate the need for inner tubes and reduce puncture risks while providing a smoother ride. Tubular tires, favored by professional racers, consist of an inner tube sewn into the tire casing and glued directly onto a tubular rim, offering unmatched performance and ride quality.

To find the ideal bike tyre, it's crucial to understand key properties. Tire size, typically described by diameter and width, should match your bike’s specifications for optimal performance. Tread pattern is another vital factor. Smooth tread is ideal for road cycling, offering low rolling resistance, while more aggressive tread patterns provide essential grip and control for off-road and mountain biking conditions. Construction material affects durability and weight; for example, a Kevlar bead in folding tires reduces weight. Consider the intended tire pressure range, indicated in PSI, for balancing comfort and performance based on terrain type. Using these properties effectively will guide you in selecting the perfect tyre to elevate your cycling experience. more
