4.9 TYRES
Bicycle tyres are available in many designs and specifications, ranging from general-purpose designs to tyres
designed to perform best under very specific weather or terrain conditions. If, once you’ve gained experience with
your new bike, you feel that a different tire might better suit your riding needs, your dealer can help you select the
most appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating, and on some high-performance tyres the specific recommended use, are marked on the
sidewall of the tyre (see fig. xx). The part of this information which is most important to you is Tyre Pressure.
WARNING
Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tyre’s sidewall. Exceeding the recommended
maximum pressure may blow the tyre off the rim, which could cause damage to the bike and injury to the rider
and bystanders.
