Tire Inspection

Tires must be maintained properly to ensure road holding and stability. Check the following areas:

Inflation: Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the tire sidewalls. It is better to use a tire gauge

and a hand pump than a service station pump.

Caution: If inflating tires with a. service station pump, take care that sudden over inflation does not cause

tire to blow out.

Bead

Seating: When inflating or refitting tire, make sure that the bead is properly seated in the rim.

Tread: Check that the tread shows no signs of excessive wear or flat spots, and that there are no cuts or other damage.

Caution: Excessively worn or damaged tires should be replaced.

Valves: Make sure valve caps are fitted and that valves are free from dirt. A slow leak caused by the entry of the dirt can

lead to a flat tire, and possibly a dangerous situation.

Recommended Tire pressures:

Please follow the tire manufacturer's guidelines which can be found molded into the sidewall of your tires.
