Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
#
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each off-road ride and whenever you
return to pavement after riding off-road. If you
only ride on pavement, check the pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tyre pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
#
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tyres for
cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or other
foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tyre or the tread.
Also inspect for any unusual bumps or bulges in
the side walls of the tyres.
#
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tyres for
signs of abnormal wear
on the contact surface.
#
Inspecting Tread Depth
Inspect the tread wear indicators. If they
become visible, replace the tyres immediately.
For safe riding, you should replace the tyres
when the minimum tread depth is reached.
