What are the impacts of installing oversized wheels?
1 Answers
Here are the impacts of installing oversized wheels on a car: 1. Increased fuel consumption. 2. Heavier steering wheel. 3. Enhanced tire grip. 4. Clearer road feedback and improved high-speed stability. Additional information: 1. Generally, tire performance can be assessed as follows: Tire width affects grip—the wider the tire, the better the grip. Of course, grip is also related to the tire's material composition. Generally, softer materials provide stronger grip but poorer durability. 2. Tire width affects resistance—the wider the tire, the greater the resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and slower acceleration. Therefore, blindly widening tires is not advisable; it's important to balance the vehicle's power and fuel efficiency.
