Who does not like to travel long distances. Touring with your friends along beautiful roads in Luxembourg, through the mountains in Germany or simply explore the beautiful places in your own country. Your tires must withstand long distances at high speed. TOUR Radial tyres are specially designed for touring, as their name already suggest, and consist of a firmer rubber compound. The tyres are characterized by their long life span, despite the sporty driving style.
Tour Radial tyres are popular nowadays, because the mileage you can travel on is higher than of other motorcycle tyres. And you experience more stability at higher speeds. Other features of the radial tyres are a better grip on wet surfaces and during cornering, qualities which are real advantages for tour riders. The radial design is different from the previously designed diagonal tyres. In this design, the cord plies are arranged at 90° degrees to the travel direction, or radially from the center of the tyre. The radial design avoids having the plies rub against each other as the tyre flexes, reducing the internal rolling friction. This allows motorcycles to achieve a better fuel efficiency. The friction is limited to the tread. In order to give strength to the carcass there is a belt of one or more layers added around the carcass. Another advantage of a radial tyre is a better handling and optimal road contact. The radial tyre deforms much more when cornering due to the softer sidewalls, allowing the tread to keep better grip on the road. However, there are disadvantages as well, like the noise nuisance through the harder rubber compound and less absorption of small road bumps because of the steel belts.
