WET-WEATHER TYRES

All street-legal motorcycles sold today are equipped with allweather street tyres. These feature a mix of more generous contact surface with some cuts or grooves in the tread to help with water dispersion. For more specific application, such as racing purposes or extreme weather, wet-weather tyres are available, featuring additional grooves and finer cuts to adequately displace more water and enhance grip in wet conditions. Wet-weather tyres, however, require wet conditions to run cool or else they heat up much faster than regular all-purpose tyres.
