Product Description
The Metropolitan Antonov is an excellent choice for urban bicycles. Its eye - catching tread pattern, Anti - Puncture Layer (APL), and reflective sidewall make it stand out. The reflective sidewall significantly improves visibility at night, keeping you safer on the road. With a relatively smooth urban tread and large siping grooves in a large - volume casing, it provides a soft and comfortable ride. The SC (Single compound) ensures long - lasting performance as it uses one compound throughout the tread. The APL features a 0.7mm rubber layer between the tread and the casing, offering good puncture protection. The REF reflective sidewall striping or hotpatch helps you be more visible in low - light conditions. Technical specifications include a standard type, size 700x40, ISO 622, wire bead, belted construction, black tread and sidewall color, 75 PSI, 900 grams in weight, 22 TPI, and it comes with SC/APL/REF features and a reflective sidewall.
Using your Metropolitan Antonov tire is easy. First, make sure to install it correctly on your urban bicycle following the standard tire - mounting procedures. Check the tire pressure regularly and keep it at 75 PSI for the best performance. When riding, take advantage of the reflective sidewall for better visibility at night, especially in low - light areas. As for maintenance, inspect the tire periodically for any signs of wear or damage, like cuts or punctures. If you notice any issues, replace the tire promptly. The Anti - Puncture Layer gives it good protection, but it's still a good idea to avoid sharp objects on the road. Store the tire in a cool, dry place when not in use to extend its lifespan.
