Motorcycle Tire Safety & Training Courses

For optimum performance and fuel economy, make sure your tires are not over inflated or under inflated.  Don’t overload your bike! It can place stress on the tires  and cause poor handling and gas mileage.  Inspect your tires for excessive or uneven wear. Bald tires can cause skidding or blow outs.  Get your wheels properly mounted and aligned. Improper mounting can cause accidents.  New tires should not be run at high speeds, or pushed into leans or hard cornering until after 100 miles.

Taking a motorcycle safety course can teach you about tire safety and can make you a better rider, but you might also get a discount on your insurance. Find courses at this link: http://nm.msf-usa.org/msf/ridercourses.aspx?pagename=RiderCourse%20Info

  1. Thank you for this information. I just want to add that it is also better to check the tires 2 to 3 times a week. Or if you have a long journey, check them to avoid accident.
