What types of road bike tires are there?

Clincher tires with tubes

These tires are very common, easy to set up, and easy maintain. Tires mount on hooked rims and use an inner tube to hold pressure.

Tubeless tires

Tubeless tires continue to grow in popularity. These are mounted on tubeless compatible rims and filled with sealant that seals small cuts and punctures to limit flats. Tubeless is a great option for wider road tires run at lower pressures for extra comfort.

Top three road bike tire considerations

Bike tire clearance

Wider road tires absorb more road chatter and grip better. Riders need to make sure these tires fit inside your frame. On the front fork and rear triangle, there should be at least 5mm of clearance between the tire and the frame. 

Road tire width

Road bike tires are trending wider and wider. Where 23mm tires were a standard before, 28mm tires have taken their place. Wider tires like the 28's can be more comfortable, provide better grip, and even make you faster.

Road bike tire pressures

Wider road tires only provide benefits when kept at the correct pressures. Consult your local bike shop or use an online tire pressure calculator that takes into account the bike and rider weight, tire and wheel size, and riding surface.
