Conducir de una forma agresiva, es decir, realizando fuertes acelerones, frenazos o arrancadas bruscas, ¿influye en el rendimiento normal de los neumáticos?
Does driving aggressively, that is, with hard acceleration, sudden braking or sudden starts, affect the normal performance of the tyres?
- ANo, salvo que el pavimento esté en mal estado.No, unless the road surface is in poor condition.
- BNo, pero se consume más carburante.No, but more fuel is used.
- CSí, porque se desgastan más.Yes, because they wear more.
Show answer
Correct answer
- CSí, porque se desgastan más.Yes, because they wear more.
Because driving aggressively, with hard acceleration, sudden braking or sudden starts, causes more tyre wear. These actions create more friction between the tyres and the road surface, which speeds up tread wear. Also, sudden movements increase the chance of the tyres being damaged, for example with cuts or deformations, which also affect their normal performance.
