Configuració i instal·lació
Instal·lació professional recomanada:
Tire installation should always be performed by a qualified professional using appropriate tools and safety procedures. Improper installation can lead to serious injury or tire failure.
Muntatge
Ensure the tire is mounted in the correct rotational direction as indicated by arrows on the sidewall. Use proper lubrication and mounting equipment to prevent damage to the tire bead or rim. Never attempt to mount a tire without proper training and tools.
Equilibri
After mounting, the tire and wheel assembly must be dynamically balanced to ensure smooth operation, prevent uneven wear, and reduce vibrations at speed. An unbalanced tire can negatively impact handling and rider comfort.
Funcionament i ús
Període de rodament
New tires require a break-in period of approximately 100 miles (160 km) of moderate riding. During this period, avoid sudden acceleration, hard braking, and aggressive cornering to allow the tire's surface to scuff in and achieve optimal grip. This process removes any mold release agents and prepares the tire for full performance.
Pressió dels pneumàtics
Always maintain the tire pressure recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer, not the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall. Check pressure when tires are cold, at least once a week, and before every long ride. Incorrect tire pressure can lead to poor handling, reduced tire life, increased fuel consumption, and increased risk of failure.
Capacitat de càrrega
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified for the tire and your motorcycle. Overloading can cause tire damage, affect handling, and lead to premature wear or tire failure. Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for maximum load limits.
Manteniment
Inspecció periòdica
Periodically inspect the tire for signs of wear, cuts, punctures, or embedded objects. Remove any foreign objects carefully and have punctures repaired by a professional. Check for cracks, bulges, or other deformities on the sidewall and tread.
Tread Wear Indicators (TWI)
The T32 tire features Tread Wear Indicators (small raised bars within the tread grooves). When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, the tire has reached its minimum safe tread depth and must be replaced immediately to maintain safety and performance, especially in wet conditions.
Neteja
Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or petroleum-based cleaners, which can degrade rubber compounds and compromise tire integrity. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Resolució de problemes
Desgast desigual
Uneven tread wear can indicate improper tire pressure, wheel imbalance, suspension issues, or alignment problems. If you notice uneven wear, consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis and correction.
Vibracions
Vibrations at speed often point to an unbalanced wheel or a damaged tire. Have the tire and wheel inspected and rebalanced. If vibrations persist, check for bent rims or other mechanical issues.
Pèrdua de pressió
A sudden or gradual loss of tire pressure may be due to a puncture, a faulty valve stem, or a damaged rim. Locate the source of the leak and have it repaired immediately by a qualified tire professional. Do not ride on a significantly underinflated tire.
