How to measure tire wear
Inspect the tread to measure wear and to know when they need replacing.
In direct contact with the terrain, the tread directly affects tire performance.
Change tire when the centre knobs are worn down to the same height as the side knobs.
How to remove a tire
To remove your tire, start by deflating the inner tube completely. Once deflated, use a tire lever to remove it from the rim.
How to fit a tire
To put it back on, place one side of the tire into the bottom of the rim. Next, inflate your inner tube to approximately 30% before putting it into the tire (inflating it beforehand reduces the risk of pinching the inner tube).
Place the other side of the tire into the rim, starting on the side opposite the valve. Before inflating the inner tube all the way, check to make sure it isn’t pinched between the tire and the rim.
How to inflate your tire correctly
Inflate your tire carefully. The recommended pressure is indicated on the side of the tire and on its product sheet (available online).
Always make sure your tires are at the correct pressure before each outing.
Pro tip
Make sure to inflate your tire to the pressure suitable for the terrain and, especially, the weather conditions.
When riding in rainy weather, lower the tire pressure to increase its traction.
When riding in dry weather, increase the pressure for better performance.
Tubeless Ready
This tire also works as a tubeless tire (without inner tube) when mounted to a tubeless rim. Applying tubeless liquid sealant reduces the risk of punctures and improves air tightness.
Inflating tubeless tires with a compressor or high-pressure pump is preferrable. Tubeless Ready optimizes traction and offers outstanding comfort.
