FAQs

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

The recommended tyre pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tyre. Always check and maintain the correct pressure for optimal performance and safety.

What does TPI mean?

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. It refers to the density of the tyre casing. Higher TPI generally means a more supple tyre, which can provide a better ride quality.

How do I know what size tyre to buy?

The tyre size is printed on the sidewall of your existing tyre. It typically includes the diameter (e.g., 700c or 28") and width (e.g., 32mm or 42-622).

Can I use this tyre with tubes?

Yes, the Continental Ride Tour tyre is a tubeless tyre and can be used with tubes.

How often should I replace my tyres?

Tyre replacement depends on use and wear. Regularly inspect your tyres for wear, cuts, and embedded objects. Replace the tyre when the tread is worn, or if you notice significant damage.

Can I use tyre sealant with this tyre?

Yes, using tyre sealant can further enhance puncture protection.

What is the EXTRA PunctureBelt?

The EXTRA PunctureBelt is a rugged rubber breaker combined with rubber-reinforced sidewalls. It ensures a high level of puncture protection and sidewall abrasion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Tyre keeps getting flats.

Check the tyre for embedded objects (glass, thorns) and remove them. Inspect the rim tape for proper placement and condition. Consider using tyre sealant for added protection.

Tyre feels sluggish.

Check the tyre pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Ensure the brakes are not rubbing against the tyre.

Tyre wears out quickly.

Check the tyre pressure regularly and ensure it's within the recommended range. Avoid skidding and sharp turns on abrasive surfaces.

Difficulty installing the tyre.

Ensure the tyre size matches the rim size. Use tyre levers carefully to avoid damaging the tyre or rim. Lubricate the tyre beads with soapy water to ease installation.
