Correct answer
- CAl menos cada 5 años.At least every 5 years.
Explanation
The rubber of tyres ages and loses its properties over time even if the tread looks sufficient, which is why the DGT recommends changing them at least every five years. If the tread falls below 1.6 mm before then, or there are cuts, they must be replaced without waiting that long.
