Tire Wear; Minimum Recommended Tread Depth; Triumph Dealer - Triumph Tiger 850 Sport 2020 Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance
The tire pressures shown on your
instruments indicate the actual tire
pressure at the time of selecting
the display. This may differ from the
inflation pressure set when the tires
are cold because tires become warmer
during riding, causing the air in the tire
to expand and increase the inflation
pressure. The cold inflation pressures
specified by Triumph take account of
this.
Only adjust tire
the tires are cold using an accurate
pressure gage. Do not use the tire
pressure display on the instruments.

Tire Wear

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

Warning
Operation with excessively worn tires
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction, stability and handling which
may lead to loss of control and an
accident.
When tubeless tires, used without a
tube, become punctured, leakage is
often very slow. Always inspect tires
very closely for punctures. Check
the tires for cuts, embedded nails
or other sharp objects. Operation
with punctured or damaged tires will
adversely affect motorcycle stability
and handling which may lead to loss of
control or an accident.
Check the rims
deformation. Operation with damaged
or defective wheels
dangerous and loss of motorcycle
control or an accident could result.
Always consult
Triumph dealer for tire replacement, or
for a safety inspection of the tires.
In accordance

of the tread with a depth gage, and
replace any tire that has worn to, or
beyond the minimum allowable tread
