Why do the tyres matter regarding safety?

• croon 5y ago
  Tyres for any vehicle are usually rated for speed. There are probably many more informed people here, but I assume the material and the patterns are designed on a scale according to assumed speed.

    The same applies with bikes, just that it's not legally required to advertise so most manufacturers don't really care. Schwalbe is the only company that I know of which actually tests and advertises compatible speeds on their e-bike tyres.

  The tires define the distance you need to break the vehicle.
