Is it necessary to replace 205 tires with 215 tires for a car?
1 Answers
It is possible to replace 205 tires with 215 tires on a car, which will increase the tire contact area, improving traction and stability during driving, thereby enhancing vehicle handling performance and safety. Below is a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of replacing car tires from 205 to 215: 1. Advantages: Increasing the tire contact area not only improves traction and stability during driving but also enhances vehicle handling performance and safety. 2. Disadvantages: The increased tire width leads to a larger contact surface, resulting in increased friction, which in turn leads to relatively higher fuel consumption. Additionally, due to increased resistance, the vehicle's steering becomes more laborious, and fuel consumption increases. The added weight of the vehicle may also reduce brake lifespan.
