Consumer Description

Tire size 90/90-21 front tire inflated with Motorcycle manufacturers recommended psi without warning it instantly deflats. I had this happen twice with the same tire. Once deflated it causes the tire to debead off the rim while riding and renders the motorcycle nearly uncontrollable. Especially dangerous in a curve or turn. My riding skill kept me upright. Yes my safety was at risk. Many riders would have crashed. and likely have but have no explanation as to why. I started a thread on two Facebook groups and one Forum that are related to my motorcycle Make and model. Many owners wrote of their experiences. with the same manufacturer of the tire. The tire is marked Tubeless but I would recommend running it with a tube. Something is wrong with either the tire or the KTM OEM wheel. It's going to kill someone. No Joke!
