Correct answer

  • CLa presión aconsejada por el fabricante.The pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

Tyres must always have the pressure recommended by the manufacturer, also in the rain: this is the pressure that makes sure the tread sits properly on the road and clears water correctly. Raising or lowering it reduces the useful contact area and grip.
