Can 195 tires be replaced with 205 tires?

195 tires can be replaced with 205 tires. Additional information: Notes on tire replacement: After replacement, the diameter of the tires increases, which raises the ground clearance of the vehicle, leading to increased fuel consumption and slower acceleration, but the car can achieve higher speeds. For small-displacement engines, this might also reduce the vehicle's acceleration capability. Additionally, changing tire size could result in failure during annual vehicle inspections. Notes on tire usage: Pay attention to tire pressure, as it is critical to tire longevity—both overinflation and underinflation can shorten the lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, and causes excessive flexing, leading to overheating, rubber degradation, and fatigue or breakage of the cord layers.
