To use this Maxxis MTB tire, first, make sure your bike's wheel is the right size (26 x 2.25). Then, carefully mount the tire on the wheel following normal tire - mounting procedures. Since it's not tubeless ready, you'll need to use an inner tube. When riding, this tire performs best on dry, hard - packed surfaces like those found in XC and light - duty trails. As for maintenance, regularly check for cuts or abrasions, and the EXO protection should help it last longer. If you notice any significant damage, it's time to replace the tire. Keep the tire properly inflated according to the manufacturer's recommendations for the best performance.
