The Hazard!

Under certain tyre service conditions (e.g., low inflation pressure, heavy load, road conditions, mileage at almost the half of the tyre life, etc.), irregular tyre wear may develop, which, over time, may result in breakage of the zero degree reinforcement.

If this condition is not promptly detected, it may lead to potential detachment of parts of the tread layer and/or sudden air loss.

Partial detachment of the tread layer and/or a sudden loss of air pressure may cause loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do...

If you believe you have an affected tyre, Pirelli recommends to stop using immediately the motorbike and please contact your place of purchase to check and replace any affected tyres for free.
