Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
NOTE: When you detect drops in tire
pressure, check the tire for nails or
other punctures, or a damaged wheel
rim. Tubeless tires sometimes lose
pressure gradually when punctured.
TIRE CONDITION AND TYPE
Proper tire condition and proper tire
type affect vehicle performance. Cuts
or cracks in the tires can lead to tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.
Worn tires are susceptible to puncture
failures and subsequent loss of vehi-
cle control. Tire wear also affects the
tire profile, changing vehicle handling
characteristics.
Check tire condition of your tires each
day before you ride. Replace tires if
tires show visual evidence of damage,
such as cracks or cuts, or if tread
depth is less than 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
front, 2.0 mm (0.08 in) rear.
NOTE: These wear limits will be
reached before the wear bars molded
into the tire make contact with the
road.
NOTE: The “ ” mark indicates the
place where the wear bars are
molded into the tire. When the wear
bars contact the road, it indicates that
the tire wear limit has been reached.
