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 o. 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, saddles, seat post, or seat
post clamps seat post 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 following:
The actual measured size of a tire may be dierent 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 authorized brand retailer 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.
