What Are the Best Motorcycle Tires for Wet Weather Grip
2025-10-29
Riding in wet conditions demands absolute confidence in your MOTORCYCLE TIRES. When the road is slick, ordinary tires can compromise your safety and control. The best wet weather tires are engineered with specialized compounds and tread patterns specifically designed to channel water and maintain grip on rain-soaked asphalt. JABIL AquaPro series stands out as a leader in this category, offering unparalleled stability and braking performance when the weather turns against you.
The JABIL AquaPro is built from the ground up for wet weather mastery. Its technology focuses on expelling water, maximizing the contact patch, and delivering consistent performance in low-temperature conditions.
-
High-Silica Compound: A advanced silica-infused compound remains flexible in cold, wet conditions, providing superior grip where traditional compounds would harden and lose traction.
-
Deep-Lateral Grooves: Strategically placed deep grooves on the shoulder aggressively pump water away from the tread surface, drastically reducing the risk of aquaplaning while cornering.
-
Directional Tread Design: A V-shaped pattern is optimized to efficiently slice through water, pushing it to the sides and ensuring the tire rubber maintains constant contact with the road.

MOTORCYCLE TIRES FAQ
How do I know if my tires are good for wet weather?
Look for tires with a high-silica compound and a pronounced, multi-directional tread pattern with plenty of sipes (small cuts in the tread blocks). These features are hallmarks of wet-weather tires like the JABIL AquaPro series, designed specifically for water dispersal and cold-weather grip.
Do tire pressures change for wet weather riding?
For wet conditions, some riders slightly increase tire pressure by 1-2 PSI over the standard recommendation. This can help the tire profile and improve water channeling. Always consult your bike's manual and the JABIL technical data sheet for the optimal cold pressure range.
How does tire age affect wet weather performance?
As MOTORCYCLE TIRES age, their compound slowly hardens and loses elasticity through a process called oxidation. This significantly reduces their ability to conform to the road surface, drastically diminishing wet grip. Even with sufficient tread depth, we recommend replacing tires over 5 years old to ensure maximum safety in the rain.
