Correct answer
- BCuidar que la profundidad del dibujo del neumático nunca sea inferior a 1,6 mm.Make sure the tread depth of the tyres is never less than 1.6 mm.
Explanation
We must regularly check that the tyre tread is still above the tread wear indicators; otherwise the vehicle will be less stable on the road, will need more metres to stop and will be more likely to go out of control on a wet surface. A depth of at least 2 millimetres is recommended; 1.6 mm is compulsory.
