Factors to Consider Before Buying
Tire Size and Compatibility
When it comes to choosing a tire for your bike, size matters. The size of your tire is determined by the size of your wheel and the clearance of your frame. Common tire sizes for road bikes range from 700 x 25c to 700 x 40c for gravel bikes. For mountain bikes, you’ll typically see tire sizes ranging from 26” to 29”. Hybrid bikes and kids bikes can have even smaller sizes, with some hybrid bikes using a tire size similar to a road bike, 700c, or a larger mountain bike size like 29”, the possibilities are endless! Always make sure that the tire you choose is compatible with the size of your wheel and the clearance of your frame.
Types of Bike Tires
The type of bike tire that you need will depend on the type of bike you have and the type of riding that you do. At Brentwood Cycle, we carry a variety of bike tires online and in our store, suitable for different bikes and riding styles. Our collection includes road/gravel bike tires, mountain bike tires, and hybrid bike tires.
Road/Gravel Bike Tires
Road bike tires, also known as slick tires, are designed for riding on smooth pavement. These bike tires are designed for riding on smooth pavement and are typically used for road racing. They are designed to be lightweight and offer low rolling resistance, which allows riders to achieve high speeds. We also offer tires that are designed for endurance riding and racing, which are wider and more durable and are commonly ridden on gravel roads.
Mountain Bike Tires
Mountain bike tires are designed for riding off-road on rough terrain. They are typically wider and more durable than road bike tires, and they feature a more aggressive tread pattern that provides better traction on loose terrain. The best mountain bike tires are made from a durable rubber material that is resistant to punctures.
Hybrid Bike Tires
Hybrid bike tires are designed for a mix of on-road and off-road riding. They are commonly used on commuter bikes and are designed to offer a good balance of speed and durability. Hybrid bike tires are typically the same size as road bike tires, but they feature a slightly wider tread that provides better traction on loose terrain.
