The importance of motorcycle tire pressure

2022-11-05

The tire pressure of motorcycle tires is one of the easiest variables to change on a motorcycle. Regularly adjusting the tire pressure is absolutely harmless, but most riders tend to ignore the importance of tire pressure.

    1. Regularly check the tire pressure of motorcycle tires

    If the daily riding environment of your car is on a relatively stable road and rainy days, it is recommended that you check the tire pressure once a week. On the other hand, if you often drive on sand and gravel mixed roads, it is best to check the tire pressure every one to two days.



    2. Check the base motorcycle tires tire pressure

    When the vehicle is running, the air pressure in the tire will rise with the surface temperature of the tire, and the air in the tire will expand, which will cause the tire pressure to be too high. If it is serious, it will cause a puncture. Therefore, it is extremely important to properly check the basic tire pressure. At the same time, we also recommend that you check the basic tire pressure when the car is cold to avoid the temperature rising and affecting the tire pressure.



    3. Bring your own high-quality motorcycle tires tire pressure gauge

    Because the tire pressure will directly affect the tire's ground contact area, torsion, and tire temperature, keeping a tire pressure gauge can help you to check the tire pressure value of your car at all times.

 

    4. Control normal motorcycle tires tire pressure

    Low tire pressure can increase the grip of the tire. On the contrary, too low tire pressure will cause the tire to understeer and wear out too quickly, and cornering will be more difficult. On the contrary, high tire pressure can increase the sensitivity of the vehicle. On the contrary, excessive tire pressure will weaken the grip and increase the load on the front and rear shock absorbers, making the vehicle more prone to jumping. Too high or too low tire pressure may cause a puncture accident, so it is extremely important to control the normal tire pressure of the tire.

 

    5. Change tire pressure depending on driving situation

    Due to the different driving conditions, the tires also require different tire pressure values.

    Highway: When driving on smooth roads, normal tire pressure can be maintained. Too low tire pressure may cause the vehicle to understeer.

    Off-road: Lowering the tire pressure allows the tires to gain more grip and also prevents sharp objects from puncturing the tires.
