Motorcycle Tires - Cruiser Tires

Cruiser motorcycle tires are built for weight, straight-line stability and long highway kilometres rather than lap times. Shop cruiser tires from Bridgestone, Dunlop, Metzeler, Michelin, Avon and Shinko, including touring cruiser tires, performance cruiser tires, bias-ply cruiser tires and whitewall options for Canadian riders.

Cruisers carry more weight than most bikes, so load rating matters as much as size. Read the code on your current sidewall and match it exactly, and note whether your bike runs bias-ply or radial: mixing construction front to rear changes how the bike steers and is not recommended. Bias-ply tires suit heavier classic cruisers and give a softer ride, while radials handle better and run cooler on modern performance cruisers. If you tour two-up with luggage, choose a touring compound and check pressures against the loaded figure in your owner's manual, not the solo one.

Frequently asked questions

Bias-ply or radial for a cruiser? Follow what the bike came with. Bias-ply suits heavier classic cruisers and gives a plusher ride, while radials handle better and run cooler on modern performance cruisers.

How do I read a cruiser tire size? The code on the sidewall gives width, aspect ratio, rim diameter and the load and speed rating. Match all of it to your current tire or your owner's manual.
