RE: January races and what Dunlop Recommends
Tip of the month: Tire Pressure Q&A
Question: How important is it to check/set the correct tire pressure?
Answer: The tires not only provide traction, they are also part of the suspension of the bike. It is very important to check for proper inflation before every ride. It is best to check pressures when tires are cold.
Question: Should the front and rear always be set to the same pressure?
Answer: No. There are normally small differences we suggest on front / rear pressure. A good baseline pressure for each is 12 PSI front and 13 PSI rear. That will work in most motocross conditions.
