When the tyres are underinflated...
A)they wear equally on the sides and in the centre.
B)they wear more in the centre.
C)they wear more on the sides.Correct
* With a pressure lower than that indicated by the manufacturer:
- They wear more on the sides.
- They deform and heat up more.
- The risk of a blowout increases.
- Grip decreases and the risk of aquaplaning increases (the tyres cannot displace the layer of water on the road surface and lose grip).
- Fuel consumption increases.
* With a pressure higher than that indicated by the manufacturer:
- They wear more in the centre.
- The contact area with the road surface and grip decrease.
- They do not absorb road irregularities well (they vibrate more and the suspension deteriorates).
