Two wheels change everything - grip, profiles and pressures all work differently from car tyres. Our fitters mount motorcycle tyres with the care they demand, protecting rims and joints, and every wheel is balanced on computerised equipment before it goes back on your bike.
Old motorcycle rubber is a silent risk - a tyre ten years old can look perfect yet offer almost no grip. Ask us to check your bike's date codes next time you visit; it could be the cheapest safety upgrade you make.
Based in central Walsall, Marlows Tyre and Valeting looks after drivers across the Black Country. Choose your area to see local availability, or visit us at the depot - most jobs are finished within the hour.
Motorcycle tyres age by the calendar as much as by the miles. A tyre that left the factory ten years ago can look perfect while offering very little grip, especially on lean angles. We read the date code on every tyre we touch and tell you honestly when the rubber has aged out.
Commuter miles, weekend blasts and winter touring all want different profiles. Tell us how you ride and we will match the right sports, touring, adventure or scooter tyre - profiled, computer-balanced and fitted with the care two wheels deserve.
