How Many Kilometers Should Motorcycle Tires Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Motorcycle tires are generally replaced every 3 years or after traveling 60,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information on motorcycle tire classifications: Tube tires: These store air inside an inner tube and do not require a precise fit between the tire and the rim. Even with low air pressure, there's no worry about the tire coming off the wheel, leading to air leakage. Therefore, tube tires are commonly used in off-road vehicles and American-style street bikes that use rims and spokes. Tubeless tires: Often referred to as vacuum tires, these utilize a special construction between the steel rim and the tire edge to seal air within the tire body. Even if punctured by a foreign object, the air doesn't escape immediately, and repairing a flat is very convenient, making them highly favored by motorcycle enthusiasts. In recent years, tubeless tires have gradually been adopted for use in ordinary motorcycles as well.
