TIRE AND WHEELS
The X-Treme X-250 DOES NOT use an identical rim and tire assembly on the
front and rear wheels. The wheels are two wheel halves (split rim) bolted
together to make it easier to remove and replace the tire and tube. Tires can
easily be rotated between front and back wheels.
Tire wear will differ based on rider weight, riding conditions and care.
Replacement tires can be obtained at your local X-Treme dealer, through
motorcycle shops, or from the X-Treme website at www.x-tremescooters.com
Tire Pressure
The tire must be inflated to a maximum of 32 P.S.I. It is also recommended to
use a tube additive like
Slime®, available from any motorcycle shop, to avoid
inconvenient punctures.
Empty all air from the tire, prior to loosening the bolt to split the rim.
