13.5 Checking the tire condition
Info
Only mount tires that have been approved and/or recommended by KTM.
Other tires could have a negative effect on riding behavior.
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an important impact on the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
The front and rear wheels must be mounted with tires with similar profiles.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.
