For reasons of safety and in order to optimise the life expectancy of any tyre it is essential to ensure that it is correctly inflated at all times. Running with correctly inflated tyres in accordance with the tyre manufacturer's recommendations also makes a significant contribution to straight-line and cornering handling, including under braking and at low speeds. Running under-inflated tyres can lead to premature wear and irreversible damage, and greatly increases the risk of tyre creep or the possibility of unseating the tyre, even when using rim locks.
