Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSe desgastarán más rapidamente.They will wear out more quickly.
Explanation

With pressure below the correct level, the tyre deforms and rests mainly on its edges, which wear out sooner. Fuel consumption also increases rather than decreases, and the tyre heats up more, so the risk of a blowout grows.
