What it is & why it matters
Tires & Wheels
Tires are the only contact with the road. Size (10–14”), compound and tread decide grip, comfort and rolling resistance (range). Tubeless seals small punctures; reinforced sidewalls survive PK potholes. Wheel rim material affects unsprung weight.
Key specs to check
Size 10–14 inch
Bigger = smoother, more clearance
Type Tubed / Tubeless
Tubeless seals small punctures
Compound Soft / Hard
Harder = longer life, less grip
Tread Street / Dual
Dual for mixed surfaces
Load Load-rated

Rim Steel / Alloy

How to choose for Pakistan
- Tubeless for fewer roadside stops.
- 12–14” for PK potholes; 10” for compact scooters.
- Load-rated tires for cargo use.
- Dual-sport tread if roads are mixed.
Common buying mistakes
- Tubed tires = instant flat, hard to fix roadside.
- Under-load-rated tire bursts under cargo.
- Wrong rim size won't seat the brake disc.
