Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure this tyre is fitted by a professional with the appropriate equipment for a 16-inch rim to avoid damaging the bead. Because this is a 180/65B16 size, verify that your motorcycle's swingarm and fender clearance are sufficient to accommodate the width and profile of the tyre.
Maintenance Tips:
- Pressure Monitoring: Check tyre pressure weekly, as incorrect pressure significantly affects handling on heavy cruisers.
- Storage: If the bike is stored for long periods, keep it off the ground if possible, or rotate wheels periodically to prevent flat spots.
- Heat Cycling: Allow for a 50-mile 'scrub-in' period on new tyres to remove release agents from the tread surface before aggressive riding.
