Why Are Motorcycle Tires Important? Michelin Philippines

Did you know?

Tires play an elemental role because they are the only link between the vehicle and the road.
Your tire contact patch is not much bigger than a credit card.

And they have a big job to do!

Transferring the power of the engine to the road
Absorbing the impact of irregular road surfaces
Carrying the load of the whole vehicle
Providing excellent grip on dry and wet surfaces
Meeting the demands of braking and acceleration
Steering by responding to the movements of the steering system
Lasting and ensuring good mileage
