Overinflating your tires can make them feel firmer and reduce traction. It can also lead to a blowout if the pressure gets too high. Experts recommend releasing air to reduce tire pressure in your motorcycle by 10-15%.
Tires are the only part of your vehicle that comes into direct contact with the hot road surface. It’s important to regularly check your tire pressure using a specialized pressure gauge. You can slightly reduce the tire pressure below the manufacturer’s recommended level when riding in hot weather.

According to experts, “When riding in hot weather, it is advisable to reduce the tire pressure recommended by the manufacturer by 10-15%. This helps increase the contact surface of the tire with the road and prevents the combination of high pressure and temperature from causing a blowout.”
This means that it is necessary to release some air to reduce tire pressure in your motorcycle by 10-15%.
Tire pressure checks should be performed when the tires are “cold” and at normal temperature using a specialized tire pressure gauge. You can easily purchase a tire pressure gauge at a relatively low cost of just a few hundred thousand dong.
Each type of vehicle has its own recommended tire pressure specifications, so it’s important not to rely on the pressure settings of another vehicle. The standard tire pressure recommended by the manufacturer is usually displayed on a sticker located on the rear wheel arch of the motorcycle.
