FAQs
What does 'tube-type' mean for this tyre?
A tube-type tyre requires a separate inner tube to hold air, which is standard for many motorcycle applications. This is different from tubeless tyres, which use a special rim and tyre construction to seal air directly.
Is this tyre suitable for off-road riding?
No, the Cougar 860 Tyre - 250-18 is designed specifically for on-road use. Its tread pattern and construction are optimized for paved surfaces and will not provide adequate grip or durability for off-road conditions.
What happens if Cougar brand is not available?
If the Cougar brand is unavailable, Bike-It will supply an alternative brand of equivalent specification. This ensures you receive a tyre of comparable quality and performance characteristics.
How do I know if this 250-18 size is correct for my bike?
Always consult your motorcycle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm the recommended tyre size and type for your specific model. The '250-18' refers to the tyre's width (2.50 inches) and rim diameter (18 inches).
What does E-marked mean?
E-marked, specifically ECE No.75 compliance, signifies that the tyre meets the safety and performance standards set by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, making it legal for use on public roads in many regions.
Can I use this tyre on a front wheel?
The suitability for front or rear use depends on the specific motorcycle's requirements and the tyre's design, which is often indicated by rotation arrows. Always refer to your vehicle's manual for specific front and rear tyre recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Tyre pressure loss
Check the inner tube for punctures, inspect the valve stem for leaks, and ensure the tyre bead is properly seated on the rim.
Uneven wear
Verify correct tyre pressure, check wheel alignment, and ensure the motorcycle suspension is functioning correctly. Rotate tyres if applicable and possible according to manufacturer recommendations.
Vibrations or instability
Ensure the tyre has been balanced correctly. Check for any damage or deformities on the tyre sidewall or tread. Verify the wheel is securely fastened to the motorcycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This is a 250-18 tube-type tyre. Ensure your motorcycle or scooter has an 18-inch wheel rim and is designed to use tube-type tyres. Always check your vehicle's manual or consult a professional to confirm the correct tyre size and type.
Setup: Installation requires an appropriate inner tube and rim tape. It is highly recommended that tyre fitting be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct seating and safety. The tyre must be mounted with the correct rotation direction indicated by an arrow on the sidewall.
Care: Regularly check tyre pressure, as indicated in your vehicle's manual. Under or over-inflation can significantly affect performance, wear, and safety. Inspect the tyre frequently for cuts, embedded objects, or excessive wear. Clean the tyre with mild soap and water; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
