Tire pressure
Insufficient air pressure in the tires not only
hastens tire wear but also seriously affects the
stability of the scooter. Under inflated tires
make smooth cornering difficult and
overinflated tires decrease the amount of tire in
contact with the ground which can lead to skids
and loss of control. Be sure that the tire
pressure is within the specified limits at all
times. Tire pressure should only be adjusted
when the tires are cold.

Tire tread condition
Proper tire condition and proper tire type affect
vehicle performance. Cuts or cracks in the tires
can lead to tire failure and loss of vehicle
control. Worn tires are susceptible to puncture
failures and subsequent loss of vehicle control.
Tire wear also affects the tire profile, changing
vehicle handling characteristics.
Check tire conditions each day before you ride.
Replace tires if tires show visual evidence of
damage, such as cracks or cuts, or if tread
depth is less than
1.6 mm (0.06 in) front, 2
mm (0.08 in) rear
.
NOTE:
These wear limits will be reached before the
wear bars molded into the tire make contact
with the road.
