Why Tire Pressure Matters?
Signs Your Motorcycle Tire Pressure Is Low
- Less responsive steering and heavy handling.
- Harder to push on flat ground.
- Feeling wobbly during turns or extended stopping distances.
Consequences of Abnormal Tire Pressure
- Low pressure increases rolling resistance, heats up tires, and raises the risk of blowouts.
- High pressure reduces traction and causes uneven tire wear, affecting cornering and braking.
Consider Road Conditions & Weather
Wet or sandy surfaces might require lowering tire pressure for better grip, while higher pressure on sandy roads can help avoid punctures. Balance between front and rear tires is also key to smooth riding.
Benefits of Proper Tire Pressure
