Tire mounting - important information warning

These tires are only to be used on vehicles for which motorcycle tires were originally stipulated by the manufacturer. Any other use can be dangerous.
Check if the tire has directional arrows. If it does, you must mount the tire so that the arrow points in the direction of rotation. Some Pirelli tires have a red dot on the side wail. This indicates the lightest point, and should be positioned next to the valve. To dean or lubricate the bead, use tire mounting lubricant or soapy water. To seat the bead: remove the valve stem core and inflate the tire. For safety reasons, do not inflate motorcycle tires to more than 50 psi (3,5 bar); for scooters tires do not exceed 150 % of the indicated maximum pressure. Be sure to reinstall the valve stem core and inflate the tire/tube to the recommended riding pressure. Check the bead control lines for proper seating.
If the beads are net properly seated, you will have to deflate the tires/tubes and repeat the above procedure.
