Choosing Tires and Tire Pressure

There is a common miss conception when riders go about choosing bike setups for a race and it starts with the little things like tires and tire pressure. Mounting on a pair of any 'ole dirt bike tires may get you moving but if you're looking for speed, handling, cornering, great starts, smooth jumps, control through the whoops and most of all winning, then a bit of research is involved in choosing the correct tires. In many aspects, the dirt bike tires you choose hold a secret advantage to winning a race but it’s up to you to find those correct tires. Simply assuming that as long as you've got new tires on your bike with solid knobbing that you're good to go couldn't be further from the truth. Matching the right dirt bike tires to the riding terrain is key for optimum performance. A soft terrain tire is manufactured for use in soft terrain such and sand or peat soil and the same goes with intermediate and hard terrain tires that are best used for hard ground and rocky conditions.
