Fitting and tyre pressure

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified fitter, and make sure the rotation arrow on the sidewall points in the direction of travel. On tubeless rims, fit a new tubeless valve with every tyre change. Set the pressure cold to the figure in your bike’s owner’s manual or on the chain guard or swingarm sticker, and check it regularly. New tyres have a smooth surface, so ride gently for the first 100 to 150 km while the tread scrubs in.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a tubeless or tube-type tyre?

This is a tubeless (TL) tyre. On a tubeless rim it seals against the rim bead, so no inner tube is needed. Fit a new tubeless valve when you replace the tyre. On spoked rims that are not tubeless, run it with an inner tube of the correct size.

How do I read the size 3.00-17?

3.00 is the nominal tread width in inches, the dash means bias-ply (cross-ply) construction, and 17 is the rim diameter in inches. The 50P after the size is the load index 50 (190 kg per tyre) and speed rating P (up to 150 km/h).

Is this a front or rear tyre?

This size is a rear tyre. Front and rear tyres have different profiles and construction, so fit it on the rear wheel only and pair it with a matching front.
