Correct answer
- ASí, porque con temperaturas más altas se desgastan más rápido.Yes, because at higher temperatures they wear faster.
Explanation
Winter tyres have softer rubber and a tread designed for the cold. At high temperatures they wear faster and grip and brake worse than summer tyres, so it is advisable to change them when temperatures rise.
