When the rubber of a tyre hardens due to ageing, is it dangerous?
A)No, because hard rubber grips the road better.
B)Yes, but only when the road is wet.
C)Yes, because the vehicle may skid due to lack of grip.Correct
Over time, the rubber of tyres loses its elasticity and hardens. A hardened tyre does not deform to adapt to the irregularities of the asphalt, drastically reducing its grip capacity. This lack of grip increases the risk of skidding and lengthens braking distance, compromising safety under any circumstances.
