Point of Contact

Motorcyclists can only rely upon half the number of wheels other road users have at their disposal, so the difference between a good and an indifferent tyre is perhaps doubly significant.

Tyre manufacturers seem keenly aware of this and today offer a range of tailored solutions covering the full spectrum of on-road, racetrack and trail activities. The new year got underway with a feature dedicated to the two-wheel segment, so we hope you will get revved up about the latest products and developments in our January motorcycle tyres feature.

Agricultural Tyres

Forget rolling resistance and wet braking performance –buzzwords to take note of here include soil compaction and traction, and having a flexible sidewall low tyre pressure is not necessarily a bad thing. But while the qualities needed in a good agricultural tyre differ somewhat from those of the on-road tyre segments, but the need for optimal performance is every bit as strong.

To help you stay informed, January’s Tyres & Accessories braves the weather and heads into the countryside for its annual agricultural tyres feature.
