Using your Ardent mountain bike tire is easy. First, make sure the tire is properly mounted on your wheel, following the tubeless - ready setup if you prefer. This tire is suitable for different terrains like loose soil, hard - packed ground with a loose top layer, medium - density surfaces, and wet trails. When riding, you'll notice the excellent traction provided by the center and side knobs. For braking and accelerating, the ramped center knobs work great, and for cornering, the large side knobs keep you stable. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure. It's recommended to keep it at 65 PSI. Also, inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cuts or abrasions, especially since the EXO casing provides protection. If you find any damage, it might be time to replace the tire. Keep the tire clean by washing it with mild soap and water after a muddy ride. This will help maintain its performance and extend its lifespan.
