Correct answer

  • CLos neumáticos deben llevar siempre la presión recomendada por el fabricante.The tyres must always have the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Explanation

Tyres must always have the pressure recommended by the manufacturer, as set out in the General Traffic Regulations. This rule is essential for safety, vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. The wrong tyre pressure can cause uneven wear, less grip on the road surface and, in extreme cases, a blowout, which increases the risk of accidents.
