What pressures must be put for the tire? And for the street? Winter? Summer?

Below BikeBD explain, what application and how important the tire pressures are on the motorcycle? What is the most suitable pressure for each moment, use or season of the year?

The pressures of our tires are a much more important issue than we usually think. The pressure of the tire will largely dictate the temperature it will reach and, therefore, its behavior. All motorcycle tires have a pressure and temperature range at which they should function, but this is variable and in a way depends on the manufacturer, the motorcycle and the external conditions.

To better understand the importance of tire pressure, we must understand how air pressure affects temperature. Once we are clear on what the pressure affects, we can play with the footprint and the temperature of the compound (of the tire).

The tires are inflated with pressurized air. The more air (more volume), the more pressure. Therefore, at higher volume, higher pressure, and at higher pressure, higher temperature. This would be the Ideal Gas Law, which is also applied in the opposite way: the higher the temperature, the higher the pressure. This is where the importance of tire pressure lies, the only link between our motorcycle and the asphalt. On the other hand, we must understand that most tires need a service temperature, and this is usually warmer than they have when they are stopped (cold). Therefore, if we put more pressure on the tire, it will get hotter.
