Details of the Fault
According to Nextcar Limited, under certain usage conditions, the tyres fitted to some Triumph Tiger 1200 motorcycles may wear unevenly over time. Contributing factors may include:
- Under-inflation
- Carrying heavy loads

This uneven wear may compromise the tyre’s zero-degree reinforcement, a critical structural element designed to maintain stability and integrity.
If the condition progresses undetected, the tyre tread may partially detach and/or experience a sudden loss of air pressure.
Risks and Safety Concerns
The identified tyre defect presents serious safety risks, including:
- Sudden loss of tyre pressure
- Partial tread separation
- Reduced vehicle stability
- Loss of control while riding
- Increased risk of a crash or injury
Tyre integrity is essential for motorcycle handling, particularly at speed or when cornering.
