What are the pros and cons of 16-inch and 17-inch wheels?
1 Answers
Advantages: 17-inch tires can provide better overall visual effects for the vehicle. Disadvantages: Larger-sized tires may reduce comfort and quietness. The differences between 16-inch and 17-inch wheels are as follows: 1. Size difference: 17-inch wheels are larger compared to 16-inch wheels. 2. Aspect ratio difference: Generally, the larger the car tire size, the lower the aspect ratio. Tires with lower aspect ratios have stronger capabilities in reflecting road information and handling lateral support during driving. On the other hand, tires with higher aspect ratios offer better comfort while driving but are relatively weaker in reflecting road information and lateral support. 3. Visual difference: The larger the tire size, the stronger the visual impact, making the car appear more imposing. Conversely, smaller tire sizes may slightly diminish the overall presence of the vehicle. These two different wheel sizes primarily manifest in different aspect ratios, meaning the thickness of the tires when viewed from the side varies.
