Tyre Servicing

Your tyres are the only part of your motorcycle that touches the road — choosing the right ones makes a huge difference to safety, handling, and enjoyment.

Here at Taylor Motorcycles, we supply and fit motorcycle tyres for all types of riders, from daily commuters to weekend enthusiasts.

We can supply and fit tyres for:

  • Road bikes
  • Sports and performance motorcycles
  • Adventure and touring bikes
  • Scooters and commuter motorcycles

We’ll always:

  • Recommend the correct tyre for your bike and riding style
  • Check pressure, balance, and valve condition
  • Dispose of old tyres responsibly

If you already know what tyre you want, we’re happy to fit customer-supplied tyres too — just ask.

Choosing the Right Tyre

Not all tyres are the same. When recommending a tyre, we consider:

  • Your bike model and size
  • How you ride (commuting, leisure, touring, spirited riding)
  • Typical road conditions
  • Mileage expectations
  • Budget

A tyre that’s perfect for weekend riding may not be the best choice for daily commuting — we’ll talk you through the options so you can make an informed choice.

When Should You Change Your Tyres?

Even if your tyre looks fine, it may still need replacing.

You should consider new tyres if:

  • Tread depth is below the legal limit
  • You notice cracking or hardening of the rubber
  • The tyre feels unstable or loses grip in wet conditions
  • The bike has been stored for long periods
  • The tyre is over 5 years old (even with good tread)

Fun fact: Motorcycle tyres can lose grip as they age, even if they haven’t covered many miles.

Tyre Safety Tips (Quick Checks You Can Do)

  • Check tyre pressure regularly — incorrect pressure affects grip and tyre life
  • Look for uneven wear, flat spots, or cuts
  • Always replace tyres as a matched pair where recommended
  • New tyres need a gentle “bed-in” period of around 100 miles

Did You Know?

  • Most motorcycle tyres are designed to warm up quickly — riding gently at first improves grip
  • Under-inflated tyres wear faster and reduce fuel efficiency
  • The wrong tyre choice can affect braking distance and cornering stability
