Show answer

Correct answer

  • ASí, cuando se superen los límites de carga permitidos.Yes, when the permitted load limits are exceeded.
Explanation

Overloading the vehicle can affect how well the tyres work, because going over the permitted load limits increases wear, temperature and the risk of a blowout. Having new shock absorbers does not make up for the extra weight, so you must always keep to the load limits set by the manufacturer.
