Question

While having a discussion, Technician A says that you should never install undersized tires on a vehicle. The vehicle will be lower, and the speedometer will no longer be accurate. Technician B says that the increase in engine rpm for a given speed will result in a decrease in fuel economy. Who is correct

Answer 1

Both technician A and technician B are correct.

Explanation: Vehicle manufacturers always specify the size of the tires required for a given vehiclefor optimal efficiency,this will ensure that the speedometer is accurate and the level of the vehicle is good enough to ensure the vehicle works efficiently.

It is also a known fact that an increase in a vehicle's rpm(revolution per minute) will eventually lead to increased fuel consumption which means the fuel economy of the vehicle will be reduced making the vehicle less efficient in its fuel consumption.
