Troubleshooting

Tyre does not hold air pressure

Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim and the valve stem is secure. If the tyre is tubeless (TL), check for leaks around the rim. If it is a tubed tyre (TT), the inner tube may be damaged or punctured. Professional inspection is recommended.

Unusual wear patterns on the tyre

Check tyre pressure regularly, as under or over-inflation can cause abnormal wear. Ensure wheel alignment and balancing are correct. If wear is uneven, consult a mechanic.

Reduced grip or stability

Verify tyre pressure is within the manufacturer's recommended range. Inspect the tread for excessive wear or damage. Ensure the tyre has reached optimal operating temperature, especially in cooler conditions.

Tyre feels 'out of balance' during riding

The tyre may require re-balancing. This should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure smooth rotation and prevent premature wear.
