FAQs

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

Check your tyre pressure before every ride or at least once a week.

What is the recommended tyre pressure for my motorcycle?

The recommended tyre pressure is usually found in your motorcycle's owner's manual or on a sticker located on the motorcycle itself.

How do I know when to replace my tyres?

Replace your tyres when the tread wear indicators are visible or when the tread depth reaches the minimum legal limit. Also, replace if there are any signs of damage.

Can I use the Pilot Road 4 tyres on the track?

While the Pilot Road 4 tyres offer good performance, they are primarily designed for road use. They may not provide the same level of grip as dedicated track tyres.

How should I store my tyres when not in use?

Store tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to store them indoors.

What is 2CT technology?

2CT (Two Compound Technology) uses different rubber compounds on the tyre to provide enhanced grip on the sides and increased durability in the center.

What does XST+ technology do?

XST+ technology uses sipes to improve water evacuation and enhance grip on wet surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Tyre feels unstable or wobbly.

Check tyre pressure and ensure it matches the motorcycle manufacturer's recommendation. Also, inspect the tyres for any damage or uneven wear. If the issue persists, have a professional inspect the wheel balance and suspension.

Poor grip in wet conditions.

Ensure tyre pressure is correct. Check tread depth and replace the tyre if worn. Adjust riding style to be less aggressive in wet conditions.

Premature tyre wear.

Check tyre pressure regularly. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. Inspect the motorcycle's suspension and alignment.

Tyres are not lasting as long as expected.

Review your riding style to reduce aggressive maneuvers. Ensure proper tyre pressure. Consider the types of roads you are riding on; rougher surfaces will wear tyres faster.
