Show answer

Correct answer

  • CLa más alta de las recomendadas por el fabricante.The highest of the pressures recommended by the manufacturer.
Explanation

Manufacturers usually recommend different pressures depending on the axle and the load. The spare wheel should have the highest of them, because it is always easier to let air out than to add it if the wheel has to be fitted in any position.
