Having your tyres inflated to the correct pressure is extremely important for safety on the road, helping you brake, steer and corner more safely and also increases tyre life and fuel economy.
An under-inflated tyre will wear faster and unevenly, and an over-inflated tyre increases your chance of losing grip on the road. Therefore it’s important to check your pressure regularly.
Always check tyre pressure when the tyres are cool. Air expands inside a hot tyre giving you inaccurate readings. Refer to the manufacturer’s handbook for the correct pressures and always adjust for two up riding or sustained high speed use if recommended.
