Correct answer

  • Bal menos cada 5 años.at least every 5 years.
Explanation

Tyre rubber ages over time even if it is used little, so the DGT advises changing tyres at least every five years, even if they look in good condition. If before that time the tread goes below 1.6 mm or there are cuts or deformations, they must be changed straight away.
