According to survey reports released in earlier this year, it was mentioned that the production of motor-bikes had reached its highest point and approximately 7500 bikes hit the roads daily in Pakistan. Hence, people should know how to maintain their bikes since every household in Pakistan has at least one bike. This article will cover some of the important points regarding the tires of the bikes. The tires of bikes are quite different from the car’s tires, and following are some important points which a biker needs to know.
- One has to check the tires of the bike on a regular basis since they are difficult to maintain as compare to the tires of the cars.
- Bike tires lose air quicker than the car’s tires therefore after an equal interval of time make sure to check the air pressure to avoid any awkwardness while traveling.
- Cars are mostly radial tires while the bike tires are mostly bias-ply. It is imperative to mention here that almost all the bike tires in Pakistan are bias-ply tires.
- The tires of the bike are made up of soft rubber so that they can achieve more grip on the road. However, this causes the tires of the bike to wear out quickly as compare to the car tires. Therefore, it breaks the misconception which mostly has regarding bike and car tires that material and life of bike and car tires are same.
- It is important to check the tread of the tires and if it is 10 percent or below then the tires need to be changed. If one neglects this, then the consequences would be worse even leading to a life-threatening accident as tread might fail during the ride.
- Always check the tire pressure of the bike before riding it.
- Tire features can also vary from country to country as each country has its environment and seasons. The tires in Pakistan might be different from the ones made in the USA and vice versa.
