What is a consequence of driving with pressure lower than recommended?
En español: ¿Qué consecuencia tiene circular con una presión inferior a la recomendada?
A
Lower fuel consumption
B
Greater blowout risk and wear at the shoulders
Correct answer
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.
