10 implications of the smaller size of the wheels

We discuss the transition to the wheels with a smaller radius in the range of recommended by the manufacturer. Usually when such a change is changing mainly the height profile tires. It also does not address differences in the properties of tires, but the main trends of transition to a smaller size.

A. Worsening severity of reaction to the action of the steering wheel, decreasing the speed of perestavki
Two. Improves comfort when driving small and medium-sized irregularities
Three. At large roughness decreases the risk of damage to the drive
4. The cost of tires in the typical case is less than in the case of large sizes. Similarly, the cost of repair and tire fitting.
Five. It improves the elasticity in the higher gears
6. Increases the maximum speed (not always)
7. The car is often not as sporty as in the case of large wheels
Eight. Reduced fuel consumption (not always)
9. Change in the inhibition of the reaction towards the earlier block
10. Decreases the load on the suspension


The result: greater practicality and comfort in exchange for the appearance and handling.
