What are the effects of changing from 165 tires to 185?
1 Answers
Changing from 165 tires to 185 has the following effects: 1. Increased fuel consumption and noise; 2. The tires may rub against the wheel hub when turning the steering wheel to the limit; 3. It affects the calculation and display of mileage. Changing from 165 tires to 185 increases the width of the tires, resulting in a larger contact area with the ground. This increases the friction between the tire and the road during driving, improving the vehicle's handling, especially during cornering, where the tires can provide better grip. When modifying tire width or aspect ratio, it is important to remember a crucial data range: the diameter error value of the modified tires should be controlled within ±3% of the original tires. Exceeding this range can lead to reduced vehicle handling, longer braking distances, and abnormal noises caused by the front tires rubbing against the wheel arches during turns.
