Using the Dugast Pipistrello tire is straightforward. First, make sure your bike's rims are tubeless - ready and hookless - compatible if you plan to use it in tubeless mode. Fit the tire onto the rim with the Zylon bead for an easy and secure installation. When riding, this tire performs best on deep sand or extremely fast hardpack surfaces, and it also grips well on grass. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire for any signs of wear or damage, especially on the tread and sidewall. Since it has a neoprene coating, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture for long periods to keep the coating effective. Also, keep the tire inflated to the recommended PSI of 72.5 for optimal performance and safety.
