KTM 1190 RC8 R User Manual

13 WHEELS, TIRES 199
Warning
Danger of accidents Uncontrollable handling characteristic due to non-approved and/or non-recommended tires/wheels.
– Only tires/wheels approved by KTM and with the corresponding speed index should be used.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
– New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Info
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have a major impact on the handling of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on handling characteristics, especially on wet surfaces.
