Correct answer
- Ael neumático se calentará más.the tyre will heat up more.
When the tyre pressure is lower than the manufacturer recommends: - The tyres deform and heat up too much because of greater friction, so they wear more and faster at the edges, shoulders or sidewalls, increasing the risk of a blowout. - The vehicle becomes less stable. - Grip is reduced. - Fuel consumption increases.
