Question 6145
When tires are underinflated..
- they wear more on the sides.
- they wear the same on the sides as in the center.
- they wear more in the center.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: they wear more on the sides.
With too little air, the tire flattens and rests mainly on the edges of the tread, which wear out sooner. That is what the image shows, with the center raised. With too much air, the center wears out.
