in Vilas, North Carolina, we offer a well-selected stock of motorcycle tires built to handle both dirt trails and paved roads. With 50years of experience servicing motorcycles of all makes and models, we understand how critical tires are—not just for performance but for your safety. We carry tires we know and trust because we see firsthand how they hold up in the environments our customers ride in.
Whether you're leaning into curves on mountain roads or tackling steep gravel climbs off-road, the right tire makes all the difference. That’s why we stock a range of high-quality tires suited for street bikes, cruisers, adventure bikes, and dirt bikes, all chosen to meet the needs of local riders.
Tires for the Street
Street riders in our region deal with winding roads, variable temperatures, and wet weather, especially during the colder months in the High Country. We carry tires from trusted manufacturers known for grip, longevity, and handling precision. You’ll find options that offer:
- Strong wet-weather traction
- Stable cornering response
- Balanced wear for high mileage
- Comfortable ride on a mountain roads
Whether you’re commuting through Boone or cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway, we’ll help you find a street tire that fits your riding style and your bike’s needs. We pay close attention to tire sizing, load ratings, and tread patterns so you get optimal performance and long-term value.
Tires for the Dirt
If you're riding dirt trails, forest access roads, or backwoods terrain, your tire needs change dramatically. We stock knobby tires designed for maximum off-road traction and durability, built to bite into soft surfaces without compromising control.
- Hard terrain tires with tighter tread spacing for rocky or compact ground
- Soft terrain tires with deeper lugs for loose soil and mud
- Hybrid tires for riders who split time between pavement and trail
We also offer tires for dual-sport riders who want DOT-legal tread patterns with off-road performance. Whether you’re racing, exploring trails, or hauling equipment on your bike, we’ll guide you to the right tire based on real-world experience.

Testimonials
I broke my shifter bolt off while riding on the BDR. What they didn't have was an oem replacement bolt for my ktm 500, But what they did have was the skillset and tools required to extract a broken bolt and a replacement bolt that would work. They rolled another bike off a lift and prioritized my bike to get me back on the trail. They saved my weekend!

Pat, George, and Zack always do excellent work for me, and with a fast turn around time! I took my 2008 CBR600RR to get a full tune up plus some mods, and had it back the same week! If it's a motorcycle, dirtbike, 4wheeler, or side-by-side, trust these guys!

These guys were amazing. I would highly recommend this shop. We needed a rear tire replaced since ours died a horrible death after many curvy runs. They not only changed the rear tire on my husband's Honda vtx1800 motorcycle but initially helped us take it off the trailer (with a severely flat tire) but rescued us from certain disaster when my husband went down trying to get it back on the trailer. They didn't have to do the repair as this shop is busy but they fit us in. Thank you to the gentlemen at motorcycle medic for your fantastic service.

Awesome repair shop! Staffed with very qualified mechanics that get repairs done as quickly as possible. It's also run and owed by an incredibly knowledgeable mechanic that's honest as they come. Reminds me of the good old days. There's no upsell or runaround just quality work done for reasonable price. First time customer and now customer for life!
