Can the tread patterns of front and rear motorcycle tires be different?
1 Answers
Motorcycle front and rear tires are different from car tires, so their models and tread patterns are completely different. The main reason for this difference is directly related to the functions of the front and rear tires. Here is more related information: Main functions: Although motorcycle tires primarily serve to support and cushion, the division of labor between front and rear tires is very clear. The rear tire is used for driving, while the front tire is used for steering, so the tread patterns of the front and rear tires will be quite different (except for special models). Similarly, because the functions of the tires are different, the rear tire must have better grip than the front tire. Under the premise of the same quality and tread pattern, the only way to improve tire grip is to increase the contact area, so the tread of the rear tire will be wider than that of the front tire. Performance: Without changing the frame structure, changing the tire size is the best way to improve the vehicle's performance. Therefore, while ensuring riding comfort, motorcycles will use larger diameter front tires, especially for motorcycles with higher off-road performance requirements, which will adopt this design.
