As its function, each types of mountain bike has its own characters and specifications for the best performance, not only for the appearance. But sometime beginner riders are not aware about that, the most important is style, how make their bike looks strong like monster. Placing high travel fork in cross country bike, or choose the wrong tires are the thing that they have done most. Related to the tires, it's better to understand what bike is our bike, because downhill bike can't use tires for dirt jump tires. Once again this is related to the function of the tire in the bike. This cycling tips article will help riders to choose the right tires in their bikes.
First of all that to be understood when choosing tires is watch closely what the bike that we use. Cross country bike have its own tires, so don't place Maxxis Minion DH for cross country bike, because it will make the bike feels heavy in the road. Tires with big pattern like Maxxis Minion DH or Kenda Kinetics are the tires that designed for the downhill usage. Maxxis Holly Roller or Kenda Small Block Eight mostly used in park bike or Dirt Jump bike, that spend most their time in the smooth road. For cross country bike, it's better to use Maxxis Crossmark or Kenda Nevegal.
Another thing to be considered when choosing tires are the size of the tires, mostly the wide of the tires. This is important, because many things can influence to the choosing of tires, like the rims and the swing arm size. For example, road bike usually use thin tires, because it depends on the rims size and swing arm size. In the mountain bike, the wide rims usually used in Dirt Jump bike, and that's why they have wide tires. So, it's important to watch the rims and swing arm before decide which tires that will be installed on the bike.
See also the material of the tires, because it influences the quality, but this is simple way, just choose tires from the manufacturer that have been used by many people.
