Correct answer
Vehicle stability and safety are reduced
When the inflation pressure is lower than required, the tyres deform and wear more at the edges of the tread. The vehicle also loses stability, grip decreases on wet road surfaces, and fuel consumption increases, so the vehicle's safety will be compromised.
