  • Where to Buy

When its time to grip the road, path or trail the terrain you ride is the important factor.

The thing to consider for your type of tire is where is my beat or patrol area. Safety and comfort concerns are important to the bike patrol officer. Let take a look at whats out there. The most common is a light knobby to more of a street tire option. Check with who you buy your bike from, many like 4Bike-Police.com are happy to swap out to the tire of your choice.


Mountain Bike Tread

If your patrol area is off the city streets, this is your best option built to maneuver the terrain.

Hybrid Tires

A little bit better for smoother road surfaces. Hybrids meet the needs of most departments. Like the Kenda Kross Police (pictured)

Street / Path Tire

Great for paved roads but needs some help in loose gravel or sand.

City Tire

Designed for smooth riding with just a little bit more tread that a regular competition road tire built for speed.
