Mountain bike tires

Mountain bike tires need to be sturdy to withstand the rough terrain of rough trails. Full-knobby, front-specific, rear-specific, and snow studded are some common wheel styles with deep-tread to get the most traction in slick or muddy conditions.

The most popular companies that make mountain bike tires include:
• Schwinn
• Panaracer
• Continental
• Maxxis
• Tioga

It’s important to check mountain bike tires regularly, because a blowout can have dire consequences. Experts suggest that riders always check to make sure their wheel is tight before hitting the trail; the quick release should be pointed toward the rear of the bike to avoid catching it on any clothing. Proper air pressure is also important in ensuring long tire-life and decent bike-control.
