Question 1017 in the bank

By driving correctly and moderately, and maintaining proper tire air pressure:

  1. Correct answer: The tires’ life span is prolonged.
  2. The engine’s fuel consumption is increased.
  3. The vehicle can drive faster.
  4. The engine’s oil consumption is increased.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The tires’ life span is prolonged.

Smooth, moderate driving without hard acceleration, sudden braking or fast cornering reduces tire wear. A tire at the correct pressure touches the road evenly and wears slowly and uniformly. Under- or over-inflation causes uneven wear and shortens tire life. These habits therefore prolong the tires' life span; they do not increase fuel or oil consumption.
