Tires - Huffy Cruiser Owner's Manual

Tires

Maintenance:
• Frequently check the tire infl ation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For
extended storage, keep the weight of the off the tires.
• Do not use unregulated air hoses to infl ate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can sud-
denly over infl ate tires and cause them to burst.
• Replace worn tires.
WARNING
age the tire, inner tube and rim.
Infl ating the Tires:
• Use a hand or a foot pump to infl ate the tires.
• Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable.
• The maximum infl ation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall.
• If two infl ation pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on-road riding
and the lower pressure for off -road riding.
• The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.
Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance
from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be
seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into
the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire seating and the
pressure, until you reach the correct infl ation pressure.
