Whether you beat a 200-horsepower superbike around the Nordschleife, explore the Balkans on a travel enduro or relax and roll to the ice cream parlor on a cruiser. Your tires are the only connection to the asphalt. This contact area per tire, the so-called contact area, is hardly larger than a credit card. These few square centimeters determine driving pleasure, braking distance and, in extreme cases, your survival.
Tire development has made a quantum leap in recent years. Artificial intelligence in the development of rubber compounds and adaptive profile structures are no longer a thing of the future, but standard. But as technology grew, so did bureaucracy. In this guide you will find out everything you need to know.

So that you don't get lost in the manufacturer's marketing jungle the next time you buy, I have put together a compendium for you that leaves no questions unanswered. Don't worry, it won't be as technical as my introduction sounds. Read more
