1. Be sure to pick the right MTB tyre size
As mentioned in MICHELIN guide to understanding bike tyre size , MTB tyres should be sized correctly for your bicycle's wheel. Tyre size is important in tyre choice and is indicated on the tyre wall. The documents provided by the bike manufacturer will give you the recommended tyre size and maximum tyre width. To make sure your tyres are correctly fitted, only choose MICHELIN MTB tyres with the matching diameter.
2. Choose the right MTB tyre for the right usage
Picking the right tyre size is only a part of the story. Casual mountain bikers and cyclists who take part in competitive events expect different performance from the tyres they select. While some just want to cycle on soft trail, others aspire to more advanced uses.
The good news is that MICHELIN has produced a selection of mountain bike tyres subdivided into different ranges for the various MTB activities. Whatever kind of cycling you plan to do, we have the right range for you.
For example, if you want high-performance MTB tyres built for enduro, our MICHELIN Enduro range. will meet your needs. If you are involved in other disciplines, we also offer tyres for Cross Country, E-Bike tyres, and a Downhill range. You can also find Freestyle tyres within the MTB products as well as an Everyday tyre range designed for general use.
Some of our tyres, such as those in the MICHELIN Cross Country range, offer a low-profile tread, which makes them suitable for hard surfaces and provides better performance in terms of rolling resistance than a downhill tyre (which is more focused on grip). Others, such as the MICHELIN mud tyres, provide specific tread blocks. This feature helps to provide better grip and stability on wet or soft ground, while giving a good all-round performance in dry conditions, too.
