Question 3789
What can cause tire wear greater than normal?
- The type of road being driven on, only.
- The load, the condition of the road, and the ambient temperature.
- Driving at an appropriate speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The load, the condition of the road, and the ambient temperature.
Heavy loads, a road in poor condition, and heat make tires wear out sooner. High speeds, incorrect pressure, and aggressive driving also contribute, so the type of road is not the only cause. In the image, the van is carrying boxes and traveling along a road full of potholes.
