Show answer
Correct answer
- ACon los neumáticos fríos.When the tyres are cold.
Explanation
Tyre pressure must be checked when the tyres are cold, because they heat up as you drive and the air pressure rises, which would give a false reading. If you measure it when they are hot, you must not let air out to bring it down to the recommended pressure.
