Who is correct?
Group of answer choices
Technician A only
Technician B only
Both Technicians A and B
Neither A nor B
Technician a says radial ply tires are more rigid in the sidewall area than bias ply tires. Technician b says the belts in a radial tire restrict tread motion during contact with the road thus improving tread life in traction. who is correct

Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe basic frictional parts of a brake system are being discussed: Technician A says that the harder the frictional parts are pushed together, the higher the friction. Technician B says that the harder the frictional parts are pushed together, the more heat is developed. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that replacement wheel rims should be the same as the original equipment wheels in load capacity, offset, width, diameter, and mounting configuration. Technician B says that if wheels are installed that have a different stock width or diameter, make sure to use a tire that has the same overall width as the original tires. Otherwise the vehicles wheel-speed sensors, speedometer, antiock brake system, and many other systems will be affected. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c.
