It is possible to change from 265 to 285 tires without changing the rims. However, certain adjustments need to be made to the vehicle's height and parameters, as the effects of the change may vary depending on the type of vehicle. Additionally, after changing the tires, it is necessary to keep the transmission unchanged and ensure the accuracy of the odometer reading to guarantee that the anti-lock braking system (ABS) functions properly post-change. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road, enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering by transferring driving force, braking force, and steering force. 2. Supporting the vehicle's load. The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent early damage to vehicle components caused by severe shocks. At the same time, tires adapt to high-speed driving conditions, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel efficiency.
