You will save a lot of cash for buying motorcycle tyres online in Sri Lanka. But to do this, you need to make sure you have the proper ones for your bike. We've put together this guide on how to read a motorcycle tire to help you out, so you can be told not just about the tires on your bike now, but what tires you need to swap them with.

You need to analyze your bike and riding style to decide which type is best for you in order to choose the correct type of tyre. Four general designations are available: cruiser, lane, dual-sport/ADV, and dirt. The easy part is picking the tire family you need; once you get down to particulars, such as brand, compound, speed level, etc., it becomes more difficult. Moreover, the affordable tyre prices online will save you time, money, and effort. 

You need to have knowledge of what the code designators written on the surface of tires mean to select the correct tire size, and that's what we're here to help you decode. There are three different systems that manufacturers use to designate “alphanumeric, standard inch, and metric” tire detail, but the metric system is the industry standard today. The alphanumeric system is only seldom used, and the traditional inch system is no longer used (but will need to be converted to decide whether to use it as a new replacement). The metric form is used by the vast majority of tire producers, and that is what we will concentrate on.

A “born-on date” is also seen on tyres, which shows the production date of the rubber. This would be a four-digit code: the first two digits represent the week of the year in which it was created (1-52), and the last two digits display the two-digit year in which it was created.
