Motorcycle Tires - Touring & Sport Touring Tires

Touring and sport touring motorcycle tires are built for distance: high mileage, stable manners with luggage and a passenger, and wet grip you can trust hundreds of kilometres from home. Shop touring tires from Bridgestone, Dunlop, Metzeler, Michelin and Pirelli, including radial touring tires, sport touring tires and high-mileage compounds for Canadian riders.

The split between the two is simple. A pure touring tire uses a harder compound and a deeper, more water-shedding tread for maximum life on heavy bikes. A sport touring tire runs a dual compound, hard in the centre for mileage and softer at the shoulders for corner grip, which suits riders who want a bike that still turns well between long days. Whichever you pick, load rating is the number that matters most: a fully loaded touring bike with a passenger and panniers is close to its limit, so match or exceed the rating on your current sidewall and set pressures to the loaded figure in your manual.
