Do I Need to Replace Tires When Changing Rims?

[DeTessa]

Whether you need to replace tires when changing rims depends on whether the rim size has changed. If the rims become larger or smaller, you will need to replace the tires with corresponding sizes. Rims are components used to bear the rigid rotational inertia between the car and the tires, also known as wheel rims or steel rings. Larger rims accommodate bigger brake systems, and wider rims allow for higher-performance tires. Rim maintenance methods include: 1. Clean the rims frequently in humid environments to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. After cleaning, apply wax if necessary to maintain their shine; 3. When the rims are hot, let them cool naturally before cleaning, and avoid using cold water for washing.
