Període d'entrada:
New tires require a break-in period of approximately 100 miles (160 km) to allow the tire surface to scuff in and for the rider to become accustomed to the new tire's characteristics. During this period, avoid sudden acceleration, hard braking, and aggressive cornering.
Capacitat de càrrega:
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified for the tire (330 Pounds for this model) or your motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading can cause tire damage and affect handling.
