Correct answer

  • BSe agarra peor a la calzada.It grips the road worse.
Explanation

With too much pressure the tyre bulges, only the central part of the tread touches the road and the contact area is reduced, so it grips the road worse and wears more in the centre. Wear at the sides is typical of too little pressure.
