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.
