Check Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these pressures
may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation" stamped on the
side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown in the chart
provide proper traction and extend tire life.
Tire Pressure
Front 25 psi (1,72 bar)
