Question 5613
Incorrect tire inflation pressure...
- reduces the risk of a tire blowout.
- can increase fuel consumption.
- causes the tire to wear evenly.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: can increase fuel consumption.
With too little air, the tire deforms more as it rolls and takes more effort to move, so fuel consumption rises. Incorrect pressure also causes uneven wear and, if it is low, makes the tire heat up and potentially blow out.
