MAINTENANCE
Tires
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for cuts, punctures, and cracking. Replace damaged
tires immediately (see your VICTORY Service Manual or an authorized VICTORY dealer).
Tread Depth
Raised areas at the base of the tread, known as wear
bars; act as easily visible tread depth indicators. When
the road contact surface has worn to the top of the wear
bars, replace the tire.
For more precise measurement, use a depth gauge or an
accurate ruler to measure the depth of the center tire
tread. Replace the tire if the tread depth is less than
1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
