Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Riding with an inflation pressure lower than the one recommended by the manufacturer makes the tire casing flex and deform excessively with every turn of the wheel. That continuous deformation produces a lot of internal friction and overheats the tire, which significantly increases the risk of a blowout or of the tire coming off the rim. In addition, the tread wears unevenly (more at the sides than in the center), rolling resistance increases and with it fuel consumption, and stability is lost in curves and when braking. That is why it is false that the risk of a blowout is reduced: it increases. And it is also false that stability improves because of the larger contact surface: the moped loses precision and stability.
