Using the Maxxis Ardent Race tire is easy. First, make sure your bike's rims are compatible with tubeless tires. If you're setting it up tubeless, add some sealant into the tire before mounting it on the rim. Once it's on, inflate it to the recommended 60 PSI. When riding, you'll notice it rolls fast on hard - packed ground and brakes well. For cornering, the side knobs give you great grip. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure and keep it at the recommended level. Inspect the tread for any cuts or debris, especially after a rough ride. If you find any small punctures, the sealant inside the tubeless tire should take care of it. But for larger damage, you may need to replace the tire. Store the tire in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend its lifespan.
