FAQs
What does 4.00-6 mean?
This is the industry standard size code for the tyre. The 4.00 refers to the section width in inches, and the 6 refers to the rim diameter in inches.
Is this tyre suitable for off-road use?
The ribbed tread is optimized for tarmac and smooth gravel. It is not designed for mud, sand, or heavy off-road terrain.
Does this package include the wheel rim?
No, this product includes only the pneumatic tyre and the matching inner tube.
How often should I check the air pressure?
It is recommended to check your tyre pressure at least once a month or before any long journey.
Can I install this myself?
While it can be installed DIY with proper tools, those inexperienced with pneumatic tyre changes should seek professional assistance to avoid damaging the inner tube.
Troubleshooting
Tyre loses pressure rapidly
Inspect the inner tube for punctures and verify that the valve core is tightened correctly.
Scooter feels unstable or wobbly
Check the tyre pressure; under-inflation can cause sidewall collapse and loss of handling precision.
Difficulty mounting the tyre to the rim
Ensure the tyre bead is fully lubricated and verify the wheel rim is free from rust or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fitment, verify that your current scooter rim is compatible with the 4.00-6 tyre size. When installing, it is highly recommended to use professional tyre levers to avoid damaging the bead of the tyre or the inner tube valve stem. Once installed, inflate the tyre to the manufacturer's recommended PSI, which can usually be found on the sidewall of the tyre. For maintenance, keep the tyre pressure within the optimal range to prevent uneven wear and check the tread regularly for embedded debris like thorns or glass.
