Several parameters need to be taken into consideration, such as outside humidity, temperature, and how/frequency of inflation. The main factors are:
- tire size: width and diameter;
- type of tyre: whether tubeless, tubeless-ready, tubular or tube (so the sealant is placed in the tube).
Here we provide the values declared by Mariposa effect, one of the leading brands, regarding its Caffèlatex model. This allows you to roughly understand the quantity, it being understood that you can find the reference values on the packaging of any latex.
