10 consequences of the transition to a smaller wheel size
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.
- The sharpness of reaction to the action of the steering wheel deteriorates, the speed of the rearrangement is reduced;
- Improves comfort when passing small and medium irregularities;
- At large unevenness, the risk of damage to the disc is reduced;
- The cost of tires is typically less than in the case of large sizes. Similarly, with the cost of repairs and tire fitting .;
- Improves elasticity in higher gears;
- Increases the maximum speed (not always);
- The car looks more often than not as sporty as in the case of large wheels;
- Reduces fuel consumption (not always);
- The reactions to inhibition change towards an earlier block;
- The load on the suspension is reduced .
The result: more practicality and comfort in exchange for appearance and control.
