What is in the guide
The tread is not the whole story
A tyre's advertised road/off-road split or aggressive tread does not tell the whole story. This guide starts at your motorcycle manufacturer's approved fitment and helps you read the sidewall, set cold pressure for the actual load, and compare tyre types for Garden Route and Klein Karoo rides. It provides categories, not guarantees about specific models — with a pre-ride tyre inspection, a cost-per-kilometre worksheet and Henri's own experience.
