What are the effects of changing to 205 wide tires on a Jetta?

It helps improve stability at medium and high speeds, but there are also side effects caused by increased resistance. Advantages of improving stability at medium and high speeds: Wider tires will make the car look more dynamic and improve its appearance, while also enhancing handling stability. With the same tire diameter, increasing the tread width helps expand the contact patch, making driving more stable and increasing grip, which is beneficial for improving stability at medium and high speeds. At the same time, it can directly enhance the performance of the braking system and shorten braking distance. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption will increase. This is mainly due to the side effect of increased resistance. Comfort decreases. Since the sidewalls are relatively narrower and rigidity increases, ride comfort will be somewhat reduced. Additionally, steering becomes heavier, and high-speed noise also increases.
