What are the effects of widening tires by 1 centimeter?

[VanNadia]

The effects of widening tires by 1 centimeter: It can improve grip, enhance handling performance, and increase resistance to shorten braking distance. After widening the tires, the contact area with the ground increases, which also increases driving resistance; widening the tires increases the friction area of the steering wheels, making the steering wheel heavier to turn; widening the tires also changes the vehicle's outer contour dimensions, making the outer width of the wheel track greater than the body width. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, and ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.
