Do I Need to Change the Rims When Getting New Tires?

[VanLillian]

Replacing tires does not require changing the rims. Generally, tires should be replaced promptly when they are severely aged or damaged. However, as long as the rims are undamaged, you only need to replace the tires with the same size and specifications as the original factory tires during replacement. There is no need to replace the rims as well. Here are some considerations for tire replacement: 1. When replacing tires, it is crucial to ensure that the new tires match the original factory tire size and specifications, and that all four tires on the vehicle are of the same size and specifications. If tires that do not meet these requirements are installed, it can significantly impact the vehicle's driving performance and even compromise driving safety, posing serious risks. 2. Since tire replacement alters the mass balance between the tire and rim, an unbalanced wheel can cause severe vibrations when rotating at high speeds, affecting driving safety. Therefore, after replacing tires, it is essential to perform tire dynamic balancing.
