Tire Size x Maximum Width
Observe the Tire Size x Maximum Width for your bike found in the
“Specifications” page of this manual.
Mounting the wrong size tires can result in the tires hitting the fork or frame
when riding. If this happens, you can lose control of your bike and you can be
thrown off, a moving tire can be stopped because it touches the fork or frame.
Do not mount oversized tires, ones that rub or hit the fork or frame, ones that
result in too little clearance, or ones that can hit the fork or frame when the
suspension is fully compressed or when riding.
Take care that the tires you select are compatible with your bike’s fork or frame
design. Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations of your
front fork and rear shocks.
When you are considering tires for your bike consider...
The actual measured size of a tire may be different than its sidewall marking.
Each time you mount a new tire, take the time to inspect the actual clearance
between the rotating tire and all parts of the frame. The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires at least 1/16” (1.6 mm) tire clearance
from any part of the bike. Allowing for lateral rim flex and a wheel or rim that
is out-of-true will likely mean choosing a rear tire that provides even more
clearance than the CPSC recommends.
Ask your dealer for the right tires for your bike and its particular components!
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore
this warning.
