Road safety begins with the vehicle


In all my years (12) dealing with Thai motorcycle and tire shops I have never seen anyone use one of these. 
Tires are filled till it feels right.  99% of the time its overinflated. Feels like Flintstone rock tires.   
Some say it's more fuel efficient, it's not. 

Overinflated tires have less traction and tend to wear out quicker.   
Recently had my motorcycle serviced. Felt like Fred Flintstone driving in Bedrock.
