"L’empreinte du pneu ainsi que son adhérence sont réduites lorsque les pneus d’une fourgonnette, d’une camionnette ou d’un VR sont trop gonflés pour les charges qu’ils portent. C’est le cas, en particulier, des pneus dont la sculpture de bande dynamique peut contribuer au survirage si la pression d’air dépasse celle recommandée dans le manuel du propriétaire ou sur la plaque-étiquette du véhicule pour les chargements normaux. Le surgonflage augmente aussi les risques d’endommagement. "
