Bicycle tyres are one of the most important components on a bicycle and can improve the performance and comfort greatly.
Road tyres can offer features such as extra grip in all weather conditions, or ultimate speed and efficiency with race tyres. They are usually between 23-28mm wide and offer differing levels of puncture protection.
Mountain bike tyres have greater focus on tread pattern and sidewall strength for shredding trails without puncturing. In recent years tubeless tyres have become increasingly popular and don't require an inner tube, using a tyre sealant to seal any potential punctures nearly instantly. Here at Balfe's Bikes we stock a variety of the best brands including
