Wheels & Tyres
Adventure Motorcycle Tyres, Wheels & Real-World Tests
Your tyres are the single most critical point of contact between your bike and the ground. For instance, whether you are leaning into tarmac twisties or picking a line through sharp gravel, choosing the right rubber directly impacts your safety.
On this page, I publish long-term tyre and wheel reviews. I measure real-world tread life, wet-grip performance, off-road traction, and puncture resistance across demanding overland journeys.
Field-Tested Tyres, Puncture Repair & Wheel Equipment
Balancing highway mileage and off-road grip is a tough challenge. However, I test equipment engineered to keep your wheels turning across any environment:
-
50/50 & Dual-Sport Tyres: I publish mileage tests on aggressive dual-purpose tyres built for mud, sand, and gravel. Meanwhile, I monitor their stability and safety on wet asphalt.
-
Touring & 70/30 Adventure Tyres: I evaluate high-mileage road tyres designed for long highway stretches, rain performance, and light gravel tracks.
-
Emergency Puncture Repair & Tools: I share practical guides on compact tyre pressure gauges, heavy-duty irons, tubeless plug kits, and portable 12V air compressors. Therefore, you can fix flats in the backcountry.
-
Rims, Spokes & Maintenance: I offer real-world advice on spoked-wheel maintenance, truing, valve-stem upgrades, and rim protection for heavily loaded bikes.
Real Mileage Claims Tested in the Field
Manufacturer tread-life estimates often fail under the weight of a fully loaded adventure bike. In contrast, I test every tyre mounted to my bike across thousands of real-world kilometres. Thus, I can accurately measure tread wear depth, sidewall flex, and handling over time.
