Find the Perfect Tires for Your Ride & Keep Them Rolling Smoothly
Choosing the Right Tires for Your Ride
Not all tires are created equal. The right choice depends on your riding style, terrain, and performance needs.
Types of Bike Tires & When to Use Them 🚴
- Road tires – Lightweight, smooth, and designed for speed on pavement.
- Gravel tires – Slightly wider with added tread for grip on mixed terrain.
- Mountain bike tires – Wide with aggressive tread patterns for off-road grip.
- Commuter tires – Durable, puncture-resistant, and built for everyday riding.
Tubeless vs. Tubes vs. Tubular Tires
Each tire setup has its pros and cons—here’s how they compare:
When and How to Replace Your Brake Pads 🛑
🔵 Tubes – Standard setup, easy to install and repair, but more prone to flats.
🟢 Tubeless – No inner tube, lower pressure for better grip and fewer flats, but requires sealant.
🔴 Tubular – Lightweight and high-performance, glued to the rim, mainly for racing.

How to Install Your Tires
Whether you're replacing a flat tube, setting up tubeless, or mounting a fresh set of tires, proper installation ensures a smooth ride and prevents future issues.
Installing a Tire with Tubes
- Remove the old tire and tube.
- Check for debris or damage inside the rim.
- Insert a new tube and carefully mount the tire.
- Inflate gradually, ensuring the bead sits properly.
Installing a Tubeless Tire
- Ensure you have tubeless-compatible wheels and tires.
- Add sealant inside the tire to prevent flats.
- Use a high-volume pump or compressor to seat the tire.
- Shake and rotate the wheel to distribute sealant evenly.
Keep Your Tires in Top Shape
✔️ Check tire pressure before every ride – Proper inflation improves performance and prevents flats.
✔️ Inspect for cuts, wear, or embedded debris – Replace tires with excessive wear or damage.
✔️ Rotate your tires – If you notice uneven wear, swapping front and rear tires can extend their lifespan.
