Can I Replace 185 Tires with 195 Tires on My Car?
1 Answers
Actually, increasing the tire width within an appropriate range is acceptable. However, it's important to note that after increasing the tire width, the overall tire diameter should be kept as close as possible to the original specifications. For example, if you want to change from 185/60/15 tires to 195 width, you can replace them with 195/55/15. The Origin of Car Tires: In 1895, with the advent of automobiles, pneumatic tires began to develop extensively. The first samples of car tires appeared in France in 1895, which were single-tube tires made of plain canvas, with tread rubber but no patterns. The Development of Car Tires: From the early 1920s to the mid-1930s, car tires transitioned from low-pressure to ultra-low-pressure tires. In the 1940s, tires gradually shifted to wider rims. By the late 1940s, tubeless tires emerged. In the late 1950s, low-profile tires were introduced. Among many new technologies, none were more significant than the radial structure tires first created by the French company Michelin in 1946. These tires, known for their significantly improved lifespan and performance, especially in fuel savings during driving, were hailed as a revolution in the tire industry. The Role of Car Tires: They ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving for the car, provide excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, and enhance the car's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.
