Tire Penz Motorcycle Parts
Your motorcycle makes a statement about you, so if you are an enthusiast, you want your bike to reflect that. Among other things, your motorcycle tires can be customized to help you stand out. Using Tire Penz paint pens is a simple and affordable way to help your tires be most outstanding on the road.
What are Tire Penz?Tire Penz is a brand of paint pens that generally come in a kit. The paint is specially formulated to adhere to rubber tires, and the paint can be used on the sidewall or inner tread of your motorcycle tires. Its appropriate for use on standard or touring motorcycle tires.
Are there certain brands of tires compatible with Tire Penz?No, Tire Penz can be used on any brand of motorcycle tires, including all major brands such as Dunlop, Michelin, Bridgestone, and more. The product has been tested on all different types of rubber tires to ensure consistency after application.
How many Tire Penz are needed to paint motorcycle tires?One pen should have enough paint to complete sidewall lettering or designs for four motorcycle tires. There should be enough paint remaining for touch-ups if needed. For painting a tread pattern on a motorcycle tire similar to a Dunlop Battlax, one pen should have enough paint to complete an entire pattern. The exact amount will depend on the specific tread of your motorcycle tire.
What are the differences in tread patterns on motorcycle tires?Of course, traction and safety are a function of the patterns, as is standard versus touring models. There is also a strong artistic feature that many riders wish to accentuate. The visual appeal is so important that Michelin once produced four different versions of the Commander II motorcycle tires. Their performance ratings were identical, but each of the four had different versions of the tread patterns. Michelin then solicited rider feedback that resulted in the final version. Michelin also produces the Pilot Road 4, which, like its sport-touring predecessor, features Michelins X-Sipe Technology integrated into its tread pattern. One of the most unique tread patterns for motorcycles is the Pirelli Angel ST touring option that has a sporty pattern with a softer "angel" design within the pattern.
Will the paint affect the safety of the motorcycle tires?No, paint on the side will have no effect on the bikes safety. When applying paint to treads, it should be applied in one or two light coats, which will not affect the grip on the road or your bikes performance.
