Tire Wear, Damage
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn). So it is a false economy and unsafe to use the tires until they are bald.
Tire Wear Inspection
Measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tire that has worn down to the minimum allowable tread depth.
Minimum Tread Depth
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replacing the tire in case of bad damage. Swelling or high spots indicate intemal damage, requiring tire replacement.
B. Nail
C. Swelling or High Spot
D. Stone
Remove any embedded stones or other foreign particles from the tread.
NOTE
Have the wheel balance inspected whenever a new tire is installed.
WARNING
Tires that have been punctured and repaired do not have the same capabilities as undamaged tires and can suddenly fail, causing an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Re- place damaged tires as soon as possible. To ensure safe handling and stability, use only the recommended standard tires for replacement, inflated to the standard pressure. If it is necessary to ride on a repaired tire, do not exceed 100 km/h (60 mph) until the tire is replaced.
NOTE
When operating on public roadways, keep maximum speed under traffic law limits.
Standard Tire (Tube-type)
WARNING
Mixing tire brands and types can adversely affect handling and cause an accident resulting in injury or death. Always use the same manufacturer’s tires on both front and rear wheels.
WARNING
New tires are slippery and may cause loss of control and injury. A break-in period of 160 km (100 miles) is necessary to establish normal tire traction. During break-in, avoid sudden and maximum braking and acceleration, and hard cornering.
