Are these tyres suitable for all types of winter conditions?

These tyres are designed for icy conditions. They offer excellent grip on ice but may not be as effective in deep snow.

Replace the inner tube or use a tyre repair kit.

How do I clean the tyres?

Clean the tyres with soap and water after each ride, especially after riding on salted roads.

Are these tyres compatible with tubeless setups?

Troubleshooting

Tyre loses air quickly.

Check the tyre and tube for punctures. Replace the tube if necessary. Inspect the rim tape to ensure it is covering the spoke holes properly.

Poor grip on icy surfaces.

Ensure the tyre is inflated to the correct pressure. Adjust riding style to be more cautious on ice.
