What is the difference between R15 and R16 tires?

[MiguelRose]

Tires R15 and R16 have the following differences: 1. There is a slight difference in tire width. 2. R15 tires have a relatively smaller contact area with the ground, resulting in less friction, which means better fuel efficiency and improved shock absorption. 3. R16 tires are the opposite, with more noticeable road feedback in terms of shock absorption but better handling feel. Below is a detailed introduction to the functions of car tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's power, braking, and off-road performance; work together with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy.
