Correct answer
- ASí. Si los neumáticos están en buen estado, agarran mejor la carretera y se frena mejor.Yes. If the tyres are in good condition, they grip the road better and braking is better.
Explanation
The tyres are the only point where the vehicle touches the road. If they are worn, wrongly inflated or damaged, they lose grip and the braking distance increases, however good the brakes or the road surface are.
