Motorcycle Tire Care 101: When to Replace, Rotate, and Check Pressure

Your tires are the only part of your motorcycle that touch the road — keeping them in top condition is critical. Here’s what every rider should know about tire care:

Check Pressure Frequently
Low tire pressure causes poor handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and faster wear. Use a quality gauge and check before every ride.

Know When to Replace
Look for worn tread, flat spots, cracks, or bulges. Most motorcycle tires need replacing every 3,000–15,000 miles depending on riding style and tire type.

Balancing & Rotation
Unlike cars, motorcycle tires don’t rotate positions. However, proper balancing during installation extends their life and ensures a smoother ride.

Storage Tips
If your bike will sit for long periods, store it on stands to avoid flat spots.

👉 Well-maintained tires improve performance, safety, and rider confidence.
