How much does fuel consumption increase when switching from 225 to 245 wide tires?
1 Answers
This increase in fuel consumption cannot be quantified as there are too many influencing factors. It can only be confirmed that switching from 225 to 245 tires will result in increased fuel consumption. Introduction to the differences between 225 and 245 tire widths: In terms of grip: The section width of 225 tires is smaller than that of 245 tires. The larger the contact area, the greater the friction. When used on drive wheels, 245 tires will feel more grippy than 225 tires. During rapid acceleration, 245 tires respond more agilely than 225 tires. Driving stability: 245 tires are more stable than 225 tires. The tread of 245 tires is wider, providing stronger lateral support compared to 225 tires, resulting in greater stability during cornering and lane changes.
