17 inch tyres for motorcycles

17-inch tyres for motorcycles are one of the most popular kinds of tyres for bikes of various types. They are fitted on choppers, sport touring, enduro and cross-enduro motorcycles, sportbikes and superbikes as well as on classical models.

Key benefits

• Excellent handling. It is easier to control a motorcycle fitted with small tyres due to lower gyroscopic effect. Therefore, sports vehicles often have 17-inch tyres fitted on their front axle.
• High lateral stability. Wide profile motorcycle tyres with this diameter can be often seen on rear axles of choppers and other kinds of heavy motorcycles. Due to the large contact patch, they ensure the vehicle stability while moving in a straight line, guarantee excellent accelerating performance and prevent skidding very well.
• Superb gripping properties on various surfaces. The softer the compound, the better the gripping properties of a tread but the faster they wear out. Therefore, for example, motorcycle tyres for superbikes are made of very soft rubber but they have to be replaced. At the same time, tyres for sport touring motorcycles designed for travelling long distances are stiffer and more wear-resistant. A very prominent tread pattern with numerous grooves and blades for a secure contact with dry, wet and slippery surface makes up for the stiffness of the compound. To ensure the road grip, the tread of products for enduro and motocross bikes is often made with a chequered pattern with deep grooves and robust lugs.
• Availability. Most manufacturers have catalogues of 17-inch tyres for motorcycles including Continental, Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Dunlop, Motoz, Mitas and others.
