Using the Ardent mountain bike tire is straightforward. First, make sure your bike is compatible with a 27.5 x 2.25 tubeless ready clincher tire. If you're setting it up tubeless, add some sealant before mounting the tire on the rim. For a normal setup, just install it like any other tire. When riding, this tire performs well on different terrains such as loose, loose over hard, medium, and wet surfaces. However, be careful when cornering at high speeds, even though the side knobs offer good traction. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure and keep it at 60 PSI for optimal performance. Inspect the sidewalls for any cuts or abrasions, especially if you've been riding on rough trails. If you notice any damage, it might be time to replace the tire. Also, clean the tire after each ride to remove dirt and debris that could affect its performance.
