WARNING
Match tires, tubes, rim strips or seals, air valves and caps to the correct wheel. Contact a Harley-Davidson dealer. Mismatching can lead to tire damage, allow tire slippage on the wheel or cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00023c)
WARNING
Harley-Davidson recommends the use of its specified tires. Harley-Davidson vehicles are not designed for operation with non-specified tires, including snow, moped and other special-use tires. Use of non-specified tires can adversely affect stability, handling or braking and lead to loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024d)
Always match recommended tires. Do not mix specified tire brands. Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Specified Tires.
Tubeless tires are used on all Harley-Davidson cast and disc wheels. Tubeless tires fitted with the correct size inner tubes may be used on Harley-Davidson laced (wire spoked) wheels. Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall. Inner tube sizes are printed on the tube.
WARNING
Harley-Davidson front and rear tires are not the same. Interchanging front and rear tires can cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)
WARNING
Replace tire immediately with a Harley-Davidson specified tire when wear bars become visible or only 1 mm (1/32 in) tread depth remains. Riding with a worn tire could result in death or serious injury. (00090c)
Harley-Davidson does not perform any testing with only nitrogen in the tires. Harley-Davidson neither recommends nor discourages the use of pure nitrogen to inflate tire.
