Replace tyres before tread depth at the centre of the tyre reaches the following
limit:
German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.
Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patch plug, it
will not be as good as a new tyre. You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for
the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time thereafter. In addition,
you may not be able to safely carry as much weight as with a new tyre.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a damaged tyre. If you
choose to have a tyre repaired, be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace it, not repair it. As
discussed below, a tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will
have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre.
A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre plug, may not be safe for
normal speeds and riding conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair is
made to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a dealer and have the
tyre replaced. If possible, you should not carry a passenger or cargo until a new
tyre is installed.
