Show answer
Correct answer
- BLo que diga el fabricante de esa rueda.What the manufacturer of that wheel says.
Explanation
The pressure, maximum speed and distance you can drive with a temporary-use wheel are set by its manufacturer, usually on a label on the wheel itself. It is a temporary solution: even if it is approved, it does not last like a normal wheel and must be replaced as soon as possible.
