Show answer
Correct answer
- ASí, si se supera la carga máxima permitida.Yes, if the maximum permitted load is exceeded.
Explanation
Every tyre has a maximum load index. If the vehicle's permitted load is exceeded, the tyres deform and overheat, wear out sooner and the risk of a blowout increases; new shock absorbers do not prevent this.
