If you’re upgrading to the 35-16-500, follow the same installation best practices, then recheck the tube seating and valve alignment after the first ride.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy consider upgrading now\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs parts catalogs evolve, moving to a current, supported tube size helps ensure easier sourcing, consistent warranty coverage, and compatibility with newer tires and rims.
