PIAGGIO Beverly 300ie - Owner's Manual > Tyres
Check tyre pressure and wear periodically as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Tyres feature wear indicators; replace tyres as soon as these indicators become visible on the tyre tread. Also check that the tyres do not show signs of splitting at the sides or irregular tread wear; if this occurs, go to an authorised workshop or at least to a workshop equipped to replace tyres.
CAUTION
TYRE PRESSURE SHOULD BE CHECKED WHEN TYRES ARE COLD.INCORRECT TYRE PRESSURE CAUSES ABNORMAL TYRE WEAR AND MAKES RIDING DANGEROUS.
TYRES MUST BE REPLACED WHEN THE TREAD REACHES THE WEAR LIMITS SET FORTH BY LAW.
WARNING
THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.
