Tires for road bikes - MTBIKER.shop

Choosing the right tires for your road bike is crucial and affects the speed, comfort, and overall handling of the bike. Here is a short guide to help you choose:

Tire Size: Look for the correct tire size, which is usually listed on the sidewall of your current tires. Common sizes for road bikes include 700 x 23 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm.
Marking: A tire marked, for example, "700x23C" is intended for a rim with a diameter of approximately 622 millimetres, has a width of 23 millimetres and a total diameter of approximately 700 millimetres.
Jacket type:
- Tubeless: without an inner tube, less prone to punctures and can be used at lower pressures for better comfort and grip.
- Shower: they do not need special installation, sealant, valves and tubeless tape, they have a higher weight.
Tread pattern:
- Smooth: smooth pattern for less rolling resistance on smooth roads.
- Patterned: better grip on wet or uneven surfaces. Choose a minimal pattern for road cycling.
TPI (threads per inch): A higher TPI generally means a more flexible and lighter tire. Common TPI values range from 60 to 320. The balance between flexibility and puncture resistance is important.
Puncture protection: Consider tires with elements such as Kevlar or additional layers to provide puncture resistance, especially if you plan to ride in areas with dirt or uneven surfaces that increase the risk of a puncture.
Compound: The compound of the rubber affects grip and durability. Softer compounds provide better grip but wear more quickly, while harder compounds last longer but can degrade grip.
Weight: Lighter tires typically improve acceleration and climbing. However, it is a trade-off with durability.

By considering these factors, you can narrow down your options and choose road bike tires that meet your needs.

The shop has been verified for a long time, and when I need something, I don't even look for it on any other site than MTBiker.

If I find cheaper goods elsewhere and provide information, it doesn't work that you get a counter-offer, for me it's an unnecessary lure that doesn't work

Perfect service as always.
