Correct answer
It supports proper tyre operation and wear.
It supports proper operation and avoids wear and fuel-use penalties associated with incorrect pressure. Low pressure may increase deformation, heat and rolling resistance; excessive pressure can also cause abnormal wear. Correct pressure alone does not guarantee grip, service life or freedom from aquaplaning: tread, load, speed and road water also matter.
