Correct answer
- CLos neumáticos deben llevar siempre la presión recomendada por el fabricante.The tyres must always have the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Explanation
The tyre pressure must be the one set by the manufacturer, which you can find in the vehicle's instruction manual. Tyres in poor condition are the main cause of accidents due to mechanical failure. They are the part that needs the most checking. We must check the tyre pressure regularly, with the tyres cold and with a pressure gauge.
