The two tyres' contact patches are the motorcycle's connecting to the ground, and so are fundamental to the motorcycle's suspension behaviour, and critically affect safety, braking, fuel economy, noise and rider comfort. History About Motorcycle Tyres The history of motorcycle tyres is a clear progression of steady improvement of steady improvement in grip, allowing better acceleration, braking, and turning, along with improved comfort, safety, durability, and reliability. This progression has generally meant a steady increase in tyre width, so much so that Kevin Cameron noted the assumption among riders that "bigger must be better in every way", leading to, "the tempetation to overwhelm motorcycles with t...
