Question 4411

When a tire has too much air, what happens?

  1. It wears more on the sides.
  2. It grips the roadway better.
  3. It grips the roadway worse.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: It grips the roadway worse.

With too much air, less of the tire touches the ground, so it has less grip. It also wears more in the center. Wear along the edges comes from too little air.
