Choose
the right tire to match your machine and needs with these factors in
mind. IRC recommends a "break in" period in order to allow
the tire to achieve its best performance.
Check
the tires constantly for wear patterns and to notice cuts and/or foreigh
object. Always run with the correct air pressure.
Motorcycle
tires are important components, and we recommend care when selecting
and changing tires; you'll get the best results if you use your local
shop or dealer for tire selection, mounting and servicing.
