Choose the correct motorcycle tyre size
Start with the markings on your current tyre, or check the motorcycle's tyre placard or handbook. A marking such as 120/70R17 shows the width, profile, construction and rim size. Match the manufacturer's approved dimensions for road use. You can browse by width, profile and rim, then compare suitable options by brand and tread pattern.
Check whether your wheels require tubed or tubeless tyres, and confirm the front and rear positions. Front and rear tyres can have different sizes and designs. Do not assume a tyre that fits the rim is suitable for the motorcycle. If the markings are unclear, ask a qualified motorcycle tyre fitter before ordering.
Check load and speed ratings
The load index and speed rating are part of the tyre specification. The load index shows the maximum load the tyre can carry, while the speed rating shows the maximum speed capability under specified conditions. Choose ratings that meet or exceed the motorcycle manufacturer's requirements, and consider the combined weight of the rider, passenger, luggage, panniers and accessories.
This matters most on touring motorcycles, large-capacity bikes and motorcycles used for long distances. Extra luggage can put more demand on the rear tyre. Correct inflation pressure also matters. Set pressures when the tyres are cold, using the motorcycle manufacturer's recommendation rather than the maximum pressure printed on the tyre.
Match the tread to your riding
Road-focused tread suits commuting, sealed roads and touring. Sport patterns can prioritise handling and cornering response. Touring patterns are designed for steady highway use, wet roads and extended distances. Adventure or dual-purpose tread can be useful when a ride includes gravel, dirt roads or other unsealed sections, but more open blocks may feel different on sealed roads.
Think about your actual riding mix rather than occasional use. Gravel, loose surfaces and corrugations need a suitable adventure tread and controlled speed. In hot Australian conditions, long highway runs and a heavy load can increase tyre stress, so choose a construction and rating appropriate for the motorcycle and use.
Compare budget and premium motorcycle tyres
Budget motorcycle tyres can reduce the upfront motorcycle tyres price and may suit simple commuting or lower annual kilometres. Premium tyres often cost more and may offer a different balance of wet grip, cornering feel, mileage, construction and ride comfort. The right choice depends on where you ride, how often you carry a passenger or luggage, and how much time you spend on highways.
Tyroola lists Michelin, Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Metzeler and Kenda. Michelin has the largest range on this page, with 350 listings. Compare the specification, tread type, ratings and available stock rather than choosing by brand name alone.
Order online and arrange fitting
After confirming the size, position, construction, load rating and speed rating, compare prices and tread patterns online. All prices are in AUD and include GST. You can have tyres delivered Australia-wide or sent to a Tyroola fitting partner near you for fitting and balancing.
A fitting partner can check the old tyre, fit the replacement and balance the wheel. Ask about any motorcycle-specific requirements before booking, including tube replacement, valve condition and whether both tyres should be changed together.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the right motorcycle tyre size?
Read the size printed on the tyre sidewall, then compare it with the motorcycle's tyre placard or handbook. Confirm the front and rear sizes separately, along with the construction, load index and speed rating. Tyroola lets you search by width, profile and rim size. If the markings differ between the bike and the existing tyre, confirm the approved specification with a qualified fitter before buying.
What do motorcycle tyre load and speed ratings mean?
The load index is the maximum weight the tyre can support at its specified pressure. The speed rating indicates the tyre's speed capability under the manufacturer's conditions. Both must meet the motorcycle manufacturer's requirements. Include the rider, passenger, luggage and accessories when considering load. Never choose a lower rating simply because it costs less.
Which motorcycle tyres are best for gravel roads?
Choose an adventure or dual-purpose tread if gravel is a regular part of your riding. These tyres generally use more open tread patterns to provide traction on loose surfaces, while road-oriented designs suit sealed roads better. Match the road and off-road balance to your routes. For occasional gravel, a road-biased adventure tyre may be suitable. For frequent loose-surface riding, ask a fitter about a more dirt-capable option.
How much do motorcycle tyres cost?
On this page, the motorcycle tyres price ranges from $68 to $688 per tyre, in AUD including GST. The cost depends on size, brand, construction, tread pattern and rating. Tyroola lists options from budget to premium brands so you can compare them side by side. Fitting and balancing are arranged through a Tyroola fitting partner and may involve separate charges.
Can I have motorcycle tyres fitted after buying online?
Yes. Tyres can be sent to a Tyroola fitting partner near you for fitting and balancing. Fitting partners operate nationwide. You can also have the tyres delivered Australia-wide. Confirm the motorcycle's exact front and rear specifications before ordering, and check with the chosen fitter about tubes, valves, wheel removal and any motorcycle-specific fitting requirements.
