How To Get Top Brand Cheap Motorcycle Tires

Let's be clear, whilst expensive, tires are your link to the road... and whilst not condoning it, if you like your speed then you should be embracing the best tires you can afford. Buying a cheap brand should not be your aim, you should be trying to buy cheap motorcycle tires that are top brand and high quality.

What do you look for in a good tire? Price and looks are not the answer. Look at the tires performance levels and construction. You need good quality bias-ply or radial tires for strength and flexibility and a good tread for traction, not looks! A cheap tire also may not be as durable and last as long as the more expensive ones so may end up costing you more in the long run.

The cheapest tires are usually found online. You can find every brand from bridgestone, avon, dunlop, kenda and metzler tires for heavily discounted prices. At the time of writing one site had 40% off bridgestone motorcycle tires, 37% off michelin, 32% off Pirelli and other brands in their "Featured Motorcycle Tire Brands" section. Dunlop Elite 3 Front Tire which is normally $171.95-179.95 was on Sale for $113.99-118.99 and Bridgestone Battlax BT-01 Rear Tire was $186.99 when normally it was $310.95, this is quite a discount and means you can spend the same amount of money but get a much better tire for your money.

Although pretty obvious, it is worth mentioning that if you are buying tires online, you need to be able to either fit them yourself or find a local shop who will fit them for you for a good price which will still make them cheap overall. There is a heap of information online on how to fit a tire if you are willing to give it a go, but safety should be at the forefront of your mind so do some research before you choose to go down this path.

Another way to get ridiculous discounts on tires is to look for closeout sales. You will be restricted by availability and won't have a huge selection but checking regularly and a couple of sets if your tire pops up is definitely the way to go.
