WET WEATHER TYRES, WINTER TYRES AND THE GTC MOTORCYCLE TYRE HOTEL
Having the right tyres for the weather conditions is an absolute must, especially for a motorcyclist, so during Autumn and Winter we recommend tyres that are designed for colder and wetter conditions.
We have a few recommendations for you, but one hurdle for many ‘would be winter converts’ is that their sticky summer tyres still have plenty of life left in them. Enter the tyre hotel!
When you buy a set of winter/wet weather tyres from us, we will store your summer tyres for you, in the GTC Motorcycle Tyre Hotel. We will keep them there until the weather changes, and then for only £90.00 the pair, we will put them back on your bike for you. (£50 a pair to loose wheels)
This means you have the right tyres on for the season, as well as not having to worry about wasting your summer tyres, or transporting or storing them.
Valentino Rossi switches between wets, intermediates and slick tyres according to the conditions, and now you can too!
