FAQs
What is the recommended sealant for this tire?
We recommend using Conti RevoSealant for optimal performance and sealing.
What is the maximum inflation pressure?
The maximum inflation pressure depends on the rim type (hooked or hookless) and is indicated on the tire packaging.
How often should I check the tire pressure?
Check the tire pressure before each ride to ensure optimal performance and safety.
What is the lifespan of the tire?
The lifespan depends on riding conditions, surface, and rider weight. Regularly inspect the tire for wear and tear.
Can I use this tire with tubes?

Clean the tires with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
What is the warranty?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for details on coverage and terms.
Troubleshooting
Tire is losing air after initial setup.
Ensure the tire is properly seated on the rim and that the sealant is adequately distributed. Check the valve core for tightness and re-inflate.
Poor grip in wet conditions.
Ensure the tire pressure is appropriate for the road conditions. Check for any debris or contaminants on the tire surface. Consider adjusting your riding style to compensate for wet conditions.
