What is a consequence of driving with pressure lower than recommended?

Question image: What is a consequence of driving with pressure lower than recommended?
  • A Lower fuel consumption
  • Greater blowout risk and wear at the shoulders
  • C Greater stability in bends
  • D Wear only in the centre of the tread

Why this is the correct answer

With low pressure the tyre heats up, deforms, and wears faster; the vehicle uses more fuel, is less stable, skids more in the wet, and the risk of a blowout increases.
