If a truck is carrying 20% more weight than it was spec'd for,how much should tire pressures be increased to compensate?

A) additional 20%
B) reduce by 20% to increase footprint
C) over-inflation does not compensate for overloads
D) none of the above

Tire Pressures

The amount of air pressure in tires, critical for optimal vehicle performance and safety.

Overload

A condition where the current flowing through an electrical circuit exceeds the designed capacity, potentially causing damage or failure.

Footprint

The critical contact interface between a tire and the road surface it contacts. Also used to describe the ground uplink/downlink geographic signal area of a satellite communications system; for instance, a truck can move through multiple communication footprints on a cross-continental trip.
