Motor Bike Riders Urged to Check Tyre Pressure
Motorcylists are being urged to check their motorbike’s tyre pressure to save on fuel costs and increase motorcycle safety. Find more motorbike riding safety tips now.
TyreSafe claims if this procedure is carried out regularly, tyres at the correct pressure can increase safety and lower CO2 emissions, while also resulting in longer tyre life.
“Reduced fuel bills are possible by simply making sure tyres are inflated to the correct pressure,” said Stuart Jackson, TyreSafe chairman.
“Motorists needn’t be throwing money away just by making a few straight forward tyre pressure checks.”
The 0.76p government fuel duty increase, on top of the rise in VAT to 20 percent on the 4th January, has led to motorists feeling the pinch in the New Year.
Riding a motorbike can be expensive, but it is important for motorcylists to ensure their safety is not put at risk by failing to take the necessary precautions, just to save money.

If you have underinflated tyres this causes them to have increased rolling resistance, which means the engine has to work harder and more fuel is consumed.
The figures show that when they are under-inflated by just 20 percent, three percent more fuel is used.
Safety implications of under-inflated tyres mean there is an increased risk of the motorbike suffering a blow out at high speed, this is due to excessive heat building up in the tyre.
