Using the WTB Byway tire is straightforward. First, make sure your bike's rims are compatible with tubeless - ready clincher tires. If you're using it tubeless, add a good quality sealant to help prevent flats. When mounting the tire, ensure the bead is properly seated on the rim. When riding, you'll notice the great traction on gravel and smoothness on pavement. Just be careful when going over large rocks or sharp objects, as even with sidewall protection, extreme impacts can still cause damage. For maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure. A proper pressure will not only improve your ride but also extend the tire's lifespan. After a long ride, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, clean the tire with water and a mild soap. Inspect the tread and sidewalls for any signs of wear or damage. If you see cuts or significant wear, it might be time to replace the tire.
