Saf ety Precautions
If You Have a Flat Tire,
For the best performance, you should
replace a tire before the tread depth at the
center reaches the following limits:
We strongly recommend that you replace,
not repair, any tire that is punctured or
damaged. As discussed below, a tire that is
repaired, either temporarily or
permanently, will have lower speed and
performance limits than a new or
undamaged tire.
If the wear indicators are visible, replace
the tire immediately as it is no longer safe.
Refer to on page .
A temporary repair can sometimes be
made in an emergency situation.
However, since a temporary repair may
not hold, you must ride very slowly,
preferably without any cargo or passenger,
and have the tire replaced or permanently
repaired as soon as possible.
(For more information on temporary
repairs, see
page
.)
