Can the Original 175 Tires Be Replaced with 185?

[StEleanor]

You can replace the original 175 tires with 185. More relevant information is as follows: 1. When upgrading tire models, it is important to remember a key data range: the diameter error between the old and new tires should be controlled within ±3%. Exceeding this range can lead to reduced vehicle handling, longer braking distances, and abnormal noises when the front tires rub against the wheel arches during turns. 2. Tire upgrading essentially involves increasing the tread width and adjusting the aspect ratio. Increasing the tread width enhances the contact area between the tire and the road, improving vehicle handling, especially during cornering, where the tires provide better grip and stability. However, this may also result in slightly higher fuel consumption. 3. The aspect ratio refers to the thickness of the tire sidewall. Since the sidewall can deform, it helps absorb shocks when driving over potholes or speed bumps. A higher aspect ratio improves ride comfort but reduces handling performance. Conversely, a lower aspect ratio enhances handling but may decrease comfort.
