Tires are a pretty unglamorous part of your bike, but they sure are important. Here at *Motorcyclist* we’ve been banging the “pay attention to your tires!” drum for ages, which is why the MC Garage video series has talked about the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure and explained why you need to break in new tires. We’ve even used running shoes as an analogy to help you understand the differences between the various flavors or streetbike tires, and since flats happen and getting stranded sucks, we’ve made a video that shows you how to plug a tubeless tire so you can ride home. Now, because we’re so into tires, we’re bringing you another video about those black and round buns. This time we’re taking a close look at the information listed on your tires’ sidewalls and helping you decipher what appears to be a pretty complicated code.
