The Three Types of Bicycle Tyres Explained

Many cyclists take their tyres for granted. After all, it's just a small piece of rubber that touches the ground per tyre. However, when you consider that in order to perfectly balance the bicycle on two wheels at car-like speed, your tyres need to have a solid grip, especially on rain-slick concrete or muddy backcountry trains, you'll start to appreciate the work that your tyres put in more. And while handling, traction and control are imperative, tyres also need to offer decent wear, resist punctures, withstand rain, sunshine, ozone, and survive the abuse you put it through on a daily basis.
