Is the Santana suitable for 185 or 195 tires?
1 Answers
For the Volkswagen New Santana, the 185 specification tire size is more appropriate. This is a tire from the Hankook KINERGY series, which focuses on economy, featuring fuel efficiency and wear resistance. The drawbacks are road noise and weaker handling and comfort. The differences between 185 and 195 tires are as follows: 1. The 195 tire is wider than the 185 tire. Many car owners prefer to replace their car's tires with larger rims and wider tires, believing this enhances grip and improves the overall appearance of the vehicle, making it look more aggressive. On the surface, this idea seems correct, but in reality, there are misconceptions. 2. If the vehicle's performance is relatively low, there is no need to switch to larger and wider tires. Although wider tires increase grip, they also increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. While a lower aspect ratio may provide better road feel, it results in a bumpier ride, which passengers are unlikely to enjoy.
