Tyre Wear; Minimum Recommended Tread Depth - Triumph Speed Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance
Caution
Do not use anti puncture fluid or any
other item likely to obstruct air flow to
the TPMS sensor's orifices. Any block-
age to the air pressure orifice of the
TPMS sensor during operation will
cause the sensor to become blocked,
causing irreparable damage to the
TPMS sensor assembly.
Damage caused by the use of anti
puncture fluid or incorrect mainte-
nance is not
manufacturing defect and will not be
covered under warranty.
Always have your tyres fitted by your
authorised Triumph dealer and inform
them that tyre pressure sensors are
fitted to the wheels.
The tyre pressures shown on your in-
struments indicate the actual tyre
pressure at the time of selecting the
display. This may differ from the infla-
tion pressure set when the tyres are
cold because tyres become warmer dur-
ing riding, causing the air in the tyre to
expand and increase the inflation pres-
sure. The cold
specified by Triumph take account of
this.
Only adjust tyre pressures when the
tyres are cold using an accurate pres-
sure gauge. Do not use the tyre
pressure display on the instruments.

Tyre Wear

As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre
becomes more susceptible to punctures
and failure. It is estimated that 90% of
all tyre problems occur during the last
10% of tread life (90% worn). It is recom-
mended that tyres are changed before
they are worn to their minimum tread
depth.

Operation with excessively worn tyres
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an acci-
dent.
When tubeless tyres become punc-
tured, leakage is often very slow.
Always inspect tyres very closely for
punctures. Check the tyres for cuts,
embedded nails or other sharp objects.
Operation with punctured or damaged
tyres will adversely affect motorcycle
stability and handling which may lead
to loss of control or an accident.
Check the rims for dents or deforma-
tion. Operation
defective wheels or tyres is dangerous
and loss of motorcycle control or an
accident could result.
Always consult
Triumph dealer for tyre replacement, or
for a safety inspection of the tyres.
