Motorcycle tire pattern tips!

Motorcycle tires come into contact with various road surfaces every day, and their patterns directly affect the driver's handling and comfort of the vehicle! The choice of motorcycle tires also affects driving quality and the driving experience of different types of motorcycles. In this issue, the editor has compiled for motorcycle enthusiasts: motorcycle tires with different tread patterns, their main uses and advantages and disadvantages, hoping to help everyone!
1、 Hot melt tire
Hot melt tires are divided into: full hot melt and semi hot melt
1. Hot melt tires are generally used in intense motorcycle tracks. Due to the lower dissolution temperature of hot melt tires, after intense track positioning, the tires generate high temperature due to friction with the ground and are heated and melted, resulting in stronger grip and faster cornering. However, after the hot melt tire softens, sand, stones and other debris on the road are easily embedded in the tire, causing a decrease in tire grip and even causing sideslip! That's why motorcycles on the track have to change their tires midway!
But it's not a tire that works well on the track, it also works well in urban and mountain cycling environments. After melting, all hot melt tires will become very sticky, and sand, stones, and debris on the road will stick to the tires, reducing their grip ability and making them prone to skidding or tire blowouts!
2. The motorcycle tires we commonly use can be classified as semi hot melt tires. Although their performance is not as outstanding as full hot melt tires, semi hot melt tires combine the characteristics of various streets, and the wear level is also controlled within an acceptable range. They have become a representative of cost-effectiveness in the market and are standard equipment for various manufacturers!
2、 Slippery tire
Sliding tires, also known as road tires
My beloved car is also equipped with slippery tires when it leaves the factory. After running the break in period, all the front and rear tires are replaced because they are too slippery. When motorcycle enthusiasts go hiking on weekends, they often encounter dirt roads or grass, and running on these roads with slippery tires is simply unbearable!
Most car models on the market are manufactured with this tire. This tire can still run on city paved roads! Due to the shallow tread patterns on the road tires, when encountering grass or mud, it can be slippery and slippery! For friends who love motorcycling, most people use slippery tires to ride. When encountering muddy roads, tire slippage can cause you to collapse! The editor suggests that if you are a motorcycle enthusiast, it is better to switch to a "turtle back tire" as soon as possible
3、 Off road tires
Off road tires, also known as pineapple tires
The characteristic of off-road tires is that the grooves are wide and deep, and the tread area is small! Widely used in professional rally bikes and off-road vehicles for competitive purposes, many off-road motorcycle players encounter soft road surfaces or sandy soil while driving on the field or forest roads, and the performance of this tire will be fully displayed. Some of the tread will be embedded in the sand, making the tire's grip stronger and avoiding slipping!
Off road tires are more suitable for driving on rough roads and soft soil, and due to their strong grip ability, they are more suitable for running on these roads! However, off-road tires are not suitable for paved roads, resulting in poor braking; Turning error; Strong vibration; Driving on paved roads for a long time can increase fuel consumption and accelerate tire wear!
4、 Balanoposthitis
Turtle back tire, also known as all terrain tire
This type of tire is widely used in non professional rally cars! Also favored by many friends who love motorcycling! Compared to slippery tires, turtle back tires have better grip on muddy or gravel roads; Compared to off-road tires, it can also be driven with peace of mind on paved roads and occasionally run on forest roads, making it a relatively balanced tire!
But motorcycle enthusiasts who often run on the road and play off-road will also disdain this type of tire! If the turtle back tire is really so comprehensive, how can other tires get mixed up?
