Installing Tyre
Tyre, a tool for managing routes, has been included with your TomTom Rider. Tyre enables you to
search, design and edit routes, send them to your device and share them with other riders.
To install Tyre, do the following:
1. Connect your TomTom Rider to your PC using the supplied USB cable. A drive called “RIDER”
appears in Windows Explorer.
2. In Windows Explorer, double click on the RIDER drive to open it. Look for a file called
“TyreSetup.”
3. Double-click the "TyreSetup" file to start the Tyre installer. Follow the instructions to install
Tyre on your PC.
4. Once installed, use Tyre to import, create or edit routes. Use the menu to send the route to
your TomTom Rider or share it with other riders.
Tyre FAQs
I want to install Tyre using TomTom HOME, but I don’t know how to do this.
See Installing Tyre.
After starting up Tyre, I don’t see a map. What can I do?
Most likely your computer is infected with malware that is preventing the map from being dis-
played.
Use the malware scanner from Malwarebytes to clean your computer:

For your information: some people who were though their computers were free from malware,
because they were already using a malware scanner, discovered that the scanner from Malware-
bytes detected additional malware, and removing that malware solved their problem!
Tyre is very slow or seems to freeze. What is going on?
This behavior occurs when MS Internet Explorer is not installed on your system or when it is not
up to date. Furthermore, it may occur when your file contains a lot of waypoints or POIs. It is just
Windows slowing down as memory fills up.
Depending on the number of waypoints or POIs and the speed of your computer, Tyre may seem
to hang. It is not really hanging, but it might take a lot of time for the activity to complete.
We recommend you use a maximum of 100 waypoints or POIs for one file. If there are more, split
the file, using "Split" or "Reduce" from the "File" menu.
Is there a Tyre version for Mac computers?
We have lots of plans to port Tyre to other platforms. But since we are just a small company, it will
take some time to realize them.
