Is it necessary to change the wheel hub when replacing tires?
1 Answers
Replacing tires does not require changing the wheel hub. As long as the wheel hub is not damaged, you only need to replace the tires with the same size and specifications as those originally installed on the vehicle. When replacing tires, it is essential to ensure that the new tires match the original tire size and specifications of the vehicle, and that all four tires are of the same size and specifications. Installing tires that do not meet the required specifications can significantly impact the vehicle's driving quality and even compromise driving safety. Since replacing tires alters the mass balance between the tire and the wheel hub, an unbalanced wheel can cause severe vibrations when rotating at high speeds, thereby affecting driving safety. Therefore, it is necessary to perform tire dynamic balancing after replacing tires.
