to . wear . and . tear. . Check . the . profile .
depth, tyre pressure and state of the lat-
eral tyre surfaces at regular intervals
and take note of signs of brittleness or
wear.
Do not exceed the maximum tyre pres-
sure . recommended . when . inflating . the .
tyres. .
Otherwise . this . could . lead . to . a . tyre . ex-
ploding.
The tyres must be pumped up with at
least .the .stated .minimum .tyre .pressure. .
The tyre might detach from the rim if the
tyre .pressure .is .too .low.
The values for the permitted maximum
and minimum pressure are imprinted on
the .lateral .tyre .surface.
Tyres may only be replaced with identi-
cal, .original .tyres. .The .bicycle's .handling .
could .otherwise .be .negatively .affected.
