What are the effects of increasing tire diameter?
1 Answers
The effects of increasing tire diameter include: 1. Reduced tire grip, leading to slipping on wet roads; 2. Increased likelihood of tire deformation, causing uneven wear; 3. Impact on offset distance and vehicle suspension; 4. Dulled handling response and decreased steering precision. The functions of tires are: 1. To protect automotive components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapt to high-speed performance, and reduce driving noise; 2. To support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 3. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheel and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities.
