Your bicycle has been equipped with tires which the bike’s manufacturer felt were the best balance of performance and value for the use for
which the bike was intended. The tire size and pressure rating are marked on the sidewall of the tire.
CAUTION Pencil type automtive tire gauges and gas station air hose pressure settings can be inaccutate and should not be relied upon for
consistent, accurate pressure readings.Instead, use a high quality dial gauge.
WARNING
NEVER INFLATE A TIRE BEYOND THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE MARKED ON THE TIRE’S SIDEWALL. EXCEEDING THE RECOMMENDED

AND OTHERS. THE BEST WAY TO INFLATE A BICYCLE TIRE TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE IS WITH A BICYCLE PUMP. NEVER USE A
SERVICE STATION AIR HOSE TO INFLATE A BICYCLE TIRE. IT IS DESIGNED FOR LARGER TIRES AND IT CAN EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED
MAXIMUM PRESSURE AND IT MAY BLOW THE TIRE OFF THE RIM.
Tire pressure is given either as maximum pressure or as a pressure range.

recommended pressure gives the lowest
rolling resistance; but also produces the harshest ride. High pressures work best on
smooth, dry pavement. Very low pressuures, at the bottom of the recommmended
pressure range, give the best performance on smooth, slick terrain such as hard-packed clay, and on deep, loose surfaces such as deep, dry
sand. Tire pressure that is too low for your weight and the riding conditions can cause a puncture of the tube by allowing the tire to deform

Some special high-performance tires have unidirectional treads: their tread pattern is
designed to work better in one direction than in the other. The sidewall marking of a
unidirectional tire will have an arrow showing the correct rotation direction. If your bike has unidirectional tires, be sure that they are
mounted to rotate in the correct direction.
The tire valve allows air to enter the tire’s inner tube under pressure, but doesn’t let it back out unless you want it to. There are primarily
two kinds of bicycle tube valves:
