Answer: Tire pressure should be checked daily before each ride. Look up what is recommended for the tires that are actually on your bike, not the ones that came on it from the factory! You want to use a pressure that reflects what type of riding you’re going to be doing; remember the side of the tire usually only tells you the max pressure! If you’re a track rider then you can usually get pressure recommendations for the particular track & conditions from the tire vendor on site. Note: track tires and pressures can be vastly different than street tires. Knowing your pressures both cold and hot can help with reading tread wear patterns.
