Checking Motorcycle Tire Wear

A Simple Yet Essential Step for Your Safety

WHEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR TIRES ?

BEST PRACTICES

• For road - approved tires , riders must closely monitor tire wear to remain compliant with the legal tread depth in their

country , which may vary . The 0 . 8 mm raised indicators allow for quick and easy checks of the remaining tread depth .

• For non - road - approved tires , if any one of the wear indicator cavities is no longer visible , the tire is considered worn and

must be replaced immediately .

• Check your tire wear at least once a month , or before any long ride .

• Inspect multiple areas across the tread to detect any uneven wear .

• If in doubt , or if you notice visible damage such as cracks , deformities , or embedded objects , have your tires inspected by

your MICHELIN dealer .
