Correct answer
- CSe pierde adherencia y, por tanto, seguridad.Grip is lost, and so is safety.
When the tyre pressure is too high, the area of contact with the road surface is reduced. This means there is less surface for the tyre to grip the ground, which can lead to a loss of grip. Less grip means the vehicle has more difficulty braking and taking bends safely, which directly affects the safety of the driver and passengers.
