FAQs
What is the recommended tyre pressure?
Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual or the tyre sidewall for the recommended pressure. Always check the pressure when the tyres are cold.
How often should I check my tyres?
Check your tyres before every ride, and especially before long trips. Inspect for any signs of damage or wear.
Can I use the Battlax T31 on the track?
The Battlax T31 is designed for road use and sport touring. For track use, specialized track tyres are recommended.
How do I know when to replace my tyres?

What is the warranty on these tyres?

Are the GT spec tyres suitable for all touring bikes?
