Motorcycle tire review and tips especially for Triumph 3 T De Luxe 1945-1951 tires

• Stay Smooth: This is common sense--avoid potholes and sharp objects on the road that can compromise your tire's integrity. The same goes for curbs.


• Don't Scrimp: If you replace your tires, make sure you replace the tubes, too. Some manufacturers even recommend that you change both tires at the same time, even if they wear differently.


• Check tire pressure at least once a month for cars, once a week for motorcycles. Tires can lose up to a pound a month of air pressure. Consistency is the key. A sudden drop in pressure is noticeable with regular pressure checks. E.g., 40, 39, 40 then 30 psi indicates a leak or puncture or other type of problem. It could be as simple as a bad valve stem or bent rim or something more serious such as internal tire failure.


• Hydroplaning is the effect when the tire rides up onto the water surface of the road. What effects this is both the remaining thread depth, speed of the motorcycle and the amount of water on the road surface. In wet weather slow down and before going on a long ride for safety sake replace your tires if they are near the wear bars...its your skin.


• It is good idea to attend one of our tech sessions to learn how to plug the tires with a plug kit if that nasty nail has found its way into the tire carcass. That way if it does occur this temporary repair can be quickly accomplished on the roadside.
