Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
The pressure recommended by the manufacturer, just as in good weather. With more air, less of the tire's rubber touches the ground and it grips less well. With less air, it deforms and slips more easily in wet conditions.
