Racing motorcycle tyres

Racing motorcycle tyres at Xpert Shop are crafted specifically for track riding, competitive racing, and extreme high-speed performance. These tyres deliver maximum grip, fast warm-up times, responsive feedback, and precise handling at lean angles. Designed to handle the heat and stress of race environments, they’re ideal for track days, circuit racing, and time attack events. Whether you're a club racer or a seasoned pro, Xpert Shop offers tyres that give you the edge when milliseconds count.

Some racing tyres from Xpert Shop are DOT-approved, making them legal for street and track use, while others—like full slicks or rain race tyres—are not street legal and are intended for closed-course competition only. DOT race tyres offer excellent grip with some road practicality, but true slicks are purely for the track. Each tyre listing on Xpert Shop clearly indicates whether it is street-legal or track-only, so you can choose the right tyre for your setup.

Xpert Shop carries all types of racing motorcycle tyres:
Slicks – No tread, maximum contact patch, designed for dry tracks and ultimate grip
Intermediates – Light tread, used for damp or drying conditions
Full wets – Deep tread grooves, built to evacuate water and prevent hydroplaning on wet tracks
Each type is optimized for specific race-day conditions. If you're not sure what you need for your bike or series, Xpert Shop’s experts can help guide you.

Racing tyres have a shorter lifespan due to their ultra-soft, high-grip compounds. On average:
Slicks and soft compounds last 1–3 track days
Harder or endurance compounds can last 3–6 track days
Wets and intermediates depend heavily on weather and surface conditions
Xpert Shop stocks tyres from the most trusted racing brands, ensuring that every lap is supported by consistent, peak performance. Always check your tyres for wear indicators and heat cycles to know when it’s time to replace.

Yes, many racing tyres—especially slicks—perform best at optimal temperature, which is why tyre warmers are recommended or required. They help bring the tyres up to race temperature before your first lap, improving grip and reducing the risk of cold tearing. Xpert Shop also offers accessories like warmers, pressure gauges, and tyre racks to help you manage your race-day setup efficiently.

Xpert Shop carries racing tyres compatible with a wide range of sport and track motorcycles, including models from Yamaha R-series, Honda CBR, Kawasaki Ninja, Suzuki GSX-R, Ducati Panigale, Aprilia RSV4, KTM RC, and more. Tyres are available in common track sizes like 120/70-ZR17 (front) and 180/60-ZR17 or 200/55-ZR17 (rear).
