What is the Impact of Wheel Size on a Car?

[Hadley]

Wheel size affects a car in the following ways: 1. It increases the load on the engine; 2. It accelerates brake pad wear and has a certain impact on the transmission and clutch; 3. The odometer becomes inaccurate in measuring mileage; 4. It increases the noise level of the car. A wheel refers to the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the hub via spokes, which is the metal component supporting the tire, also known as the rim, steel wheel, or hub. Types of wheels include painted rims and chrome-plated rims. The functions of wheels are: 1. To serve as the mounting point for the axle, supporting the tire and cushioning external impacts; 2. To ensure contact between the tire and the road surface, maintaining the vehicle's driving performance. Methods for maintaining wheel hubs include: 1. Avoiding the use of cold water for cleaning when temperatures are high; 2. Regularly cleaning the vehicle if it is parked in a damp location for extended periods to prevent salt corrosion.
