Is it necessary to file for changing tire size?
1 Answers
Modifying the size of tires requires filing for record. Here are the precautions for modifying wheel rims: Size explanation: The modified wheel rims should not be excessively wide. The larger the rim, the thinner the tire must be to maintain the vehicle's aspect ratio, which makes the sensation of the ground more pronounced and significantly reduces passenger comfort when passing over uneven road sections. Only wheel rims of the same size can pass the annual inspection; if the rims are not of the same size, they will not pass the inspection. Registration is not required. The newly implemented "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" classify rim modifications as legal modifications, which do not require registration. As long as the tire size remains unchanged, the vehicle can pass the annual inspection. Relevant regulations: Article 16, Item 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. Without the permission of the public security traffic management department, modifying the chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tire rims, lights, body color painting, and external structure of a motor vehicle, or altering the relevant technical data of the motor vehicle to be inconsistent with the data announced by the State Council's motor vehicle product authority, constitutes modification.
