Wheels & Tyres - Honda TRX500FA6 AT Owner's Manual

Wheels & Tyres
The tyres are the only point of contact between the ATV and the
road. Safety under any riding conditions is dependant upon this
small point of contact. Please understand that the tyres will have less
grip, as the tread wear decreases.
To safely operate your ATV, your wheels and tyres must be the
proper type and size. Also, your tyres must be in good condition with
adequate tread, and correctly inflated.
It is important to properly replace parts according to the replacement
schedule. We recommend that you leave this work to the experts
with the proper equipment and experience.
Wheels that are deformed or damaged must be replaced. Please
consult your dealer for replacement.
Tyres age, even if they have not been used or have only been used
occasionally.
Cracking of the tread and sidewall rubber, sometimes accompanied
by carcass deformation, is an evidence ageing.
Old and aged tyres must be checked by experts to determine the
suitability for further use.
WARNING
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
