How many miles before you change mountain bike tires?
On average MTB tires should at least be able to last 3200 to 8000 miles. That’s quite a difference but if you ride sharp mountain rocks they might even go below. The lifespan of your tires depends on where and how often you ride. If you only ride trails your tires will last longer then when you’re riding on roads.

Why choose Shimano specialized wheels?
