Do I need to change tires when replacing rims?
1 Answers
Whether you need to change tires when replacing rims depends on the situation: 1. If you replace rims of the same model, there is no need to change tires; 2. If you replace rims of a different model, you need to change tires that match them. Rims are the rotating part of the wheel hub connected by columns to the inner contour of the tire, which is the metal component that supports the center of the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel rim, steel ring, hub, or wheel disc. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery that roll on the ground, mounted on metal wheel rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the vehicle's driving performance. They are used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, load forces, and high and low temperatures during driving, with high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance.
