Tires
Tires are among those machine components which require regular checking.

The values indicated refer to normal use (tourism). For use at continuous
maximum speed, on the motorway, it is recommended to increase the pressure in
the front wheel by 0.2 BAR.

If a tire needs replacing, use the same make and type as the first-equipment tire.
Tire pressure should be measured when tires are cold.
