A properly inflated tyre distributes the weight of the person using it across the tread pattern, ensuring maximum stability and agility. Incorrect inflation of the tyre can lead to premature wear, particularly on the sides or in the middle of the tyre. The tyres should be checked regularly and if needed, topped up with air. The tyre pressure is normally printed on the tyre so checking it is relatively simple.
