Tyre

Understanding the importance of tires for a VTC trekking

Durability and puncture resistance

Durability and puncture resistance are key criteria for a trekking hybrid tire. Cyclists look for tires that can withstand daily wear and tear, but also unexpected obstacles such as broken glass, stones or thorns. Tires with puncture protection layers, such as Kevlar strips, are particularly popular for their ability to reduce the risk of punctures.

Versatility for different terrains

A trekking VTC tire must be versatile to allow for smooth driving on various types of terrain, whether it is tarmac roads, dirt roads, gravel or forest trails. The versatility of a tire is often determined byar the design of its tread, which must provide good grip while minimizing rolling resistance.

Driving comfort

Riding comfort is also a crucial aspect for VTC trekking tire users. A well-designed tire should absorb shocks and vibrations, thus providing a more pleasant riding experience, especially over long distances. Tires with a larger air volume also contribute to better shock absorption.

Key features

Design

The design of a trekking mountain bike tire includes the tread shape and pattern. Aggressive patterns are ideal for rough terrain, while finer patterns are better suited for paved roads. Some tires incorporate additional grooves to evacuate water and provide better wet grip.

Size

Tire size is another determining factor. It should be compatible with your bike and suitable for your riding style. The most common sizes for trekking mountain bike tires are 26 inches, 27.5 inches and 29 inches. Each size has its advantages in terms of handling, comfort and speed.

Pressure

Tire pressure directly affects comfort and performance. Too high a pressure can make driving uncomfortable, while too low a pressure increases the risk of flat tires. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain optimal pressure.

The tread

The tread is the element in direct contact with the ground. For a trekking VTC tire, it must offer a good compromise between grip and rolling resistance. Treads with knobs are ideal for muddy and uneven terrain, while those with smoother patterns are better suited to hard and dry surfaces.

How to choose the right tire

Depending on your driving style

Your riding style is a key factor in choosing your tires. If you’re an urban cyclist, you’ll want tires with low rolling resistance and good grip on paved surfaces. For trail and path adventurers, tires with aggressive knobs and good puncture protection are essential.

Depending on the terrain

The type of terrain you ride on most often should also influence your choice. For tarmac roads, opt for tires with a smooth tread. For mixed terrain, a tire with a versatile profile will be more suitable. Finally, for rough terrain, choose tires with deep studs.

Depending on your bike

Your bike's specifications, such as wheel size and rim width, should be compatible with the tires you choose. It's important to check your bike's service manual or seek expert advice to ensure the tires are suitable for your equipment.

Care instructions

How to check for wear

Regularly checking your tires for wear is essential to ensure their performance and your safety. Signs of wear include cracks, slick spots on the tread, and damaged sidewalls. Replace your tires as soon as you notice these signs of wear.

How to inflate the tire correctly

Properly inflating your tires is crucial to maintaining their performance and durability. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure and adjust it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper pressure provides better traction and reduces the risk of flat tires.

When and how to change it

Changing your tires at the right time is essential to ensure safe driving. Replace your tires when the tread is worn or you notice damage to the sidewalls. To change a tire, start byar Deflate the old tire, remove it from the rim, place the new tire and inflate it to the recommended pressure.
