What effect does pressure higher than recommended have on tyres?
En español: ¿Qué efecto produce una presión superior a la recomendada en los neumáticos?
A
A larger contact area with the road
B
Less grip and wear in the centre of the tread
Correct answer
C
Better absorption of bumps
D
Even wear across the whole tread
Why this is the correct answer
With excess pressure the tyre has less contact with the road, so grip is reduced, the vehicle vibrates more, and the centre of the tread wears faster than the shoulders.
