<jats:p> It is well known that the inflation pressure affects the tyre properties, which in turn influence the stability and safety of a vehicle. Single-track vehicles are characterized by some weakly damped vibration modes and are particularly sensitive to such variations. This work analyses the characteristics of a high-performance tyre set as a function of the inflation pressure through experimental characterization. The effect on the stability of a racing motorcycle is investigated at different speeds using an advanced motorcycle multi-body code. </jats:p>
