Troubleshooting

Reduced grip, especially in wet conditions

Check tyre pressure against manufacturer recommendations. Inspect tread for wear beyond safe limits or any damage. Ensure tyres are correctly installed and balanced.

Tyre appears to be wearing unevenly or too quickly

Verify correct tyre pressure. Uneven wear can indicate issues with suspension, wheel alignment, or aggressive riding habits. Consult a professional technician for assessment.

Motorcycle feels unstable or vibrates at speed

Check tyre pressure. This could indicate an imbalance, misalignment, or damage to the tyre or wheel. Professional inspection is advised to diagnose and correct the issue.

Persistent slow puncture or air loss

Inspect the tyre surface for small punctures, embedded objects, or valve stem issues. If a puncture is found, professional repair or replacement is necessary. Do not attempt to repair major sidewall damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

For optimal safety and performance, professional installation by a qualified motorcycle technician is highly recommended. Correct mounting, balancing, and alignment are crucial for the tyre's performance and your riding safety.

Compatibility

This Michelin Pilot Street Tyre (80/90-16 48S) is specifically designed for small engine motorcycles. It is intended for road use in urban environments and is ideal for everyday use. Always consult your motorcycle's owner's manual to confirm the correct tyre size, speed rating, and load index required for your specific model.

Care

Proper care extends the life and performance of your tyres:

  • Tyre Pressure: Regularly check and maintain the recommended tyre pressure as specified in your motorcycle's manual. Incorrect pressure can lead to uneven wear, reduced grip, and decreased fuel efficiency.
  • Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect your tyres for any signs of damage, cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Look for foreign objects embedded in the tread.
  • Tread Depth: Monitor your tread depth. Tyres with insufficient tread depth lose their ability to channel water effectively, especially in wet conditions.
  • Cleaning: Clean tyres with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or silicone-based dressings that can degrade the rubber compound.
