Tire pressure
Lätt
What impact does low tire pressure have on an A2 motorcycle's riding characteristics?
The steering becomes heavier and the tires wear out faster.
The grip is improved and the braking distance is reduced.
No significant effects at higher speeds.
Explanation
✅ The driver's license book explains that low air pressure results in poorer steering precision, longer braking distance, and increased tire wear; correct tire pressure provides better grip and water evacuation.
