Frequently Asked Questions About BMX Tyres
The size of the BMX tire you require is determined by the wheel size and rim width. The most common wheel size for a full size BMX bike is 20", with an average tire width of 2.2 inch. However, they come in a range of sizes (12" - 24") and widths ranging from 1.75 inches to 2.5 inches, depending on the rider's height, preferences and the type of riding they do. Most freestyle bikes will come with a wider 2.2"-2.4" diameter tyre, the larger diameter helps with traction and balance. Skinnier 2.1"-2.2" tyres would be more popular for trail riding or BMX racing.
The best BMX bike tyres is subjective and will depend on the style of riding you do. A few things to consider is the tire's durability, size and width. Smoother patterns are common for street and park riding and more aggressive patterns for dirt and rough terrain. Strong sidewalls and puncture-resistant materials are also important for durability.
