Directly affects fuel consumption, meaning it consumes more fuel. Generally, a 10-liter fuel consumption would increase by half a liter. If it's for urban commuting, for aesthetics and personal preference, it's recommended to change them because they look really nice. However, for public vehicles or those with high usage rates, it's advised not to change them. Less driving means less wear and tear; frequent driving results in significant wear. Below is additional information: Disadvantages of increasing wheel size: Do not blindly increase wheel size. Some people increase wheel size to improve car performance. With the tire's outer diameter unchanged, larger wheels must be paired with wider and flatter tires, reducing the car's lateral swing and improving stability, making turns as light as a dragonfly skimming the water. However, the flatter the tire, the thinner its thickness, leading to poorer shock absorption performance and a greater sacrifice in comfort.

Which gear should be used for automatic transmission driving?

For automatic transmission driving, use the D (Drive) gear. The D gear is the forward driving gear, where acceleration and gear shifting follow preset programming, making it relatively more fuel-efficient. The D gear is the primary gear used for forward motion in vehicles. Most automatic transmission cars have the D gear designed with a sequence from 1st gear to higher gears (some from 2nd gear to higher gears). When driving, simply place the gear selector lever in the D position, and the vehicle's speed will be controlled by the accelerator pedal. When the gearshift lever is in this position, the transmission automatically shifts up or down within the engine's RPM range. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. Note: Avoid engaging higher gears at low engine RPM or lower gears at high RPM to prevent damage to engine components during the break-in period.
