10 consequences of the transition to a smaller wheel size

10 последств перехода на Меньший размер колёс

We discuss the transition to disks with a smaller radius in the size range RECOMMENDED by the manufacturer.

Usually, with such a change, the height of the tire profile generally changes.

Also, the question of the difference in the properties of tires is not considered, but only the main trends of transition to a smaller size.

  1. The sharpness of reaction to the action of the steering wheel deteriorates, the speed of the rearrangement is reduced;
  2. Improves comfort when passing small and medium irregularities;
  3. At large unevenness, the risk of damage to the disc is reduced;
  4. The cost of tires is typically less than in the case of large sizes. Similarly, with the cost of repairs and tire fitting .;
  5. Improves elasticity in higher gears;
  6. Increases the maximum speed (not always);
  7. The car looks more often than not as sporty as in the case of large wheels;
  8. Reduces fuel consumption (not always);
  9. The reactions to inhibition change towards an earlier block;
  10. The load on the suspension is reduced .

The result: more practicality and comfort in exchange for appearance and control.
