Correct answer

  • BCuidar que la profundidad del dibujo del neumático nunca sea inferior a 1,6 mm.Make sure the tyre tread depth is never less than 1.6 mm.
Explanation

The flat part of the tyre in contact with the road surface is called the tread. It is the part that wears most, so you should check that the depth of its grooves is not less than 1.6 millimetres. If it is, the tyre must be replaced. Deep tread on your tyres is essential for the vehicle to grip the road well.
