Correct answer

  • CNo deben presentar ampollas, deformaciones anormales o roturas.They must not have bulges, abnormal deformations or tears.
Explanation

Motorcycle tyres must not have bulges, abnormal deformations or tears: any visible damage puts stability at risk. The 1.6 mm minimum tread depth applies to cars, not to motorcycles.
