Whether a thick tire is better than a thin one depends on the intended use. Thick tires provide better traction, stability, and comfort on rough terrain, making them ideal for off-road biking or uneven surfaces. Conversely, thin tires are generally lighter and can offer lower rolling resistance, which is advantageous for speed on smooth, paved roads. Ultimately, the choice depends on the riding conditions and personal preference.
Kinda-sorta. On a good road, a thin tire will have less air drag than a wide tire. With less drag, a set amount of rider input will turn into more speed. Depending on design, a thin tire may also have less rolling resistance than a wider tire, which also would help with speed. A thin tire is also likely to be lighter than a wide tire. This won't help with top speed, but it will make for higher acceleration. But if road conditions are poor, the thin tire might slide, skip, or even fail if it's ridden at speed. Under those circumstances, a wider tire might do better.
If your in mud or snow, thinner because its easier to get through. If you have a wide tire, they have a lot of grip.
Yes Merchant Tires are better than local tire salesman. They are highly reviewed and liked proudly better than any local tire salesman. MY family finds them quiet useful better than any other local tire salesman.
It's far better to follow the tire pressure recommended on the tire than on the vehicle.
Taller tire sidewalls normally give a softer ride.
Yes, you can cut a tire with tin snips, but it is not the most effective or safe method. Tin snips are designed for cutting thin metal, and tires are made of thick rubber and reinforced with fabric and steel belts. Using tin snips could damage the tool and pose a risk of injury. It's better to use a proper tire cutting tool or a utility knife for such tasks.
No, the sizing is the big cause its deeper or wider to say. But they would be hard to get into a tire size so thin that thick for a cheap price.
no.
A pneumatic tire has shock can absorb shocks better than a solid one.
Goodyear is better than Mastercraft. It is a dedicated tire brand whereas Mastercraft has someone else manufacture them and stamp their name on it.
Depends on your wheel size.
To make the bike riding experience better than solid wheels.
