  • BLa parte central.The centre.

Show answer

Correct answer

  • ALos dos lados.Both sides.
Explanation

With pressure that is too low, the tyre flattens and rests mainly on the edges of the tread, so both sides wear more. If the pressure is too high the opposite happens, and the centre wears more.
