Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is critical for the Mitas S05, as it is a Tube-Type (TT) tyre. Ensure your rims are clean and free of burrs or rust that could puncture the inner tube during inflation.
- Inflation: Always check the recommended PSI for your specific scooter model and load weight to prevent uneven tread wear.
- Compatibility: Confirm your rim size is 12 inches to match the 3.50-12 specification of this tyre.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the tread depth and inspect the sidewalls for cracks or dry rot, especially if the vehicle is stored outdoors.
- Replacement: Replace the inner tube whenever you mount a new tyre to prevent valve stem fatigue and potential leaks.
