If you are riding a motorcycle and the road is wet, is it necessary to increase the tyre inflation pressure above that recommended by the manufacturer?
A)Yes, because it increases tyre grip and will improve driving safety.
B)Yes, since it increases driving safety and thus skidding is avoided.
C)No, since higher inflation pressure does not contribute to increasing driving safety.Correct
Tyre pressure should always be that indicated by the manufacturer to ensure optimal safety and grip. Increasing pressure reduces the tyre's contact surface with the asphalt. On a wet road, a smaller contact surface decreases grip and dangerously increases the risk of aquaplaning.
