What is the difference between 195 and 205 tires when driving on highways?
1 Answers
195 and 205 tires have different performance when driving on highways. The 205 tires provide better stability at high speeds, while the 195 tires are more fuel-efficient. The specific differences between 195 and 205 tires are as follows: Tire size difference: The diameter of a 195 tire is 634.5mm, while the diameter of a 205 tire is 631.9mm. The 195 tire has a diameter that is 2.6mm larger than the 205 tire. Aspect ratio difference: At the same tire height, the 205 tire has a lower aspect ratio than the 195 tire, meaning it offers better handling performance. Contact patch difference: The 205 tire is 10mm wider than the 195 tire, resulting in approximately 5% more rolling resistance. At low speeds without considering wind resistance, the 205 tire naturally consumes about 5% more fuel than the 195 tire.
