What is true of the two tires in a set of duals?
Correct answer: They should not touch each other at all.
Answer options
- AThey should touch only when the vehicle is fully loaded
- BThey should press firmly against each other
- CThey should not touch each other at all Correct
Why
The two tires of a dual set need space between them; if they rub against each other or against the vehicle, the friction creates heat and wear that can lead to a blowout. Contact can also be a sign of mismatched sizes or low air pressure.
