Aftermarket tires and rims
The tires and rims that came with your Viking were designed to match the performance capabili-
ties and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes,
and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 8-40 for tire specifications and more in-
formation on replacing your tires.1XP7C_EE.book Page 9 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM

Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha Viking were
designed to match the performance capabili-
ties and to provide the best combination of
handling, braking, and comfort. It is best to re-
place all four tires at the same time. If that is
not possible, you must replace the tires in
pairs (front or rear) with tires of the same size
and type as the originals. Never replace just
one tire.
WARNING
Installing improper tires on your Yamaha
Viking can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a loss of control.
