AInflate the tire to the correct cold pressure before riding, then recheck after the trip
BOver-inflate by 4 PSI to compensate for expected pressure loss during the ride
CDeflate the rear tire to match the front so handling remains balanced
DRide slowly; the tire will warm up and pressure will self-correct within a few miles
✓ Correct answer: A. Inflate the tire to the correct cold pressure before riding, then recheck after the tripTires should always be inflated to the manufacturer's recommended cold pressure before riding; under-inflation causes poor handling and excessive heat buildup, and you should never ride with a known pressure deficiency you can correct.
