Properly inflated tyres provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and riding
comfort. Generally, under inflated tyres wear
unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are
more likely to fail from being overheated.
Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel
damage in rocky terrain.
Over inflated tyres make your vehicle ride
more harshly, are more prone to damage from
surface hazards and wear unevenly.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure.
If necessary, install a new cap.
