What is the recommended tire pressure for motorcycle tires?
1 Answers
Motorcycle tire pressure should be 170 kPa for the front wheel and 200-220 kPa for the rear wheel. Air pressure is the lifeline of tires; both excessive and insufficient pressure will shorten the tire's service life. Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks, while also generating flexing motion that leads to excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Below are related introductions about tire pressure: Low tire pressure: Increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks, while generating flexing motion that leads to excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. High tire pressure: Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load the vehicle bears while driving. If impacted, it may lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
