Correct answer

  • BSí, y lo haremos en frío.Yes, and we will do it when they are cold.
Explanation

The valve that keeps the air inside the tyre constantly lets some air escape, so we will regularly add air until the pressure recommended by the manufacturer is reached. We will measure the pressure with the tyre cold so that the reading is as accurate as possible.
