Motorcycle tires are available in various versions: finely profiled for Sport Bikes, roughly profiled for everyday motorcycles, reinforced tunnels for off-road vehicle or frameless for racing. Furthermore, in various diameters, with different sections and even in different rubber compounds. This great diversity is necessary in order to be able to offer them for all motorized two-wheeled right soles. For example, tires for sport bikes have a large bearing area offer and have soft, adhesive rubber compounds to build up even at extreme angles sufficient grip.

The lifetime, so the mileage only plays a minor role. Owners of tour bikes do, however long stretch and moisture suitable for tires, to survive even longer trips without a stop in order to change tires and even in the rain on the safe side. The steps in the manufacture of all types of tires are almost identical. The secrets of how to achieve the subsequent handling of tread design, rubber compounds, and the like affect carcass constructions are, will be carefully and strictly guarded by the tire companies.
