But anything beyond a certain width will reduce grip on the road when turning. Doing so will create changes in weight balance. A perfect example can be found in most agricultural vehicles, such as tractors.
Their rear tires have a larger diameter compared to the smaller diameter in their front wheels. Another example is smaller rigid trucks. Unlike agricultural tractors, smaller rigid trucks have rear wheels with smaller diameters. A similar scenario is common in lowboy trailers; their wheels are relatively small to make lowering the deck to the ground easy and quick.
Based on this explanation, you are likely to find tires changing roles with tires on different vehicle types because the tires have smaller diameters than the models.
The aspect ratio of a tire is often referred to as the series or profile of a tire. The will likely have a higher aspect ratio than the due to differences in their widths.
In most cases, tires with lower aspect ratios respond to lateral forces more effectively than those tires with higher aspect ratios, so tires will effectively respond to lateral force better than the tires. As a result, the wider tread contact patch develops a stiffer footprint, decreasing distortion while providing improved cornering traction. The lower profile in tires creates a stiffer ride than what you will experience in tires with a standard sidewall aspect ratio of more than In this regard, you will enjoy a quicker steering response.
You will also witness improved cornering traction and a stiffer ride in tires than in tires based on their respective aspect ratios. So, the tires have a narrower width than the tires; this brings us to the question, do wider tires provide more grip? The most obvious answer is yes. The wider the tires, the more contact they create with the road surface, right?
When the tire becomes wider, its footprint changes drastically. The footprint will get wider but also shorter, which alters its load capacity to enhance more grip on the surface. The tires will provide less grip than the tires due to their different widths.
With an increased grip on the road surface, the tires will achieve greater levels of shorter braking distances while increasing traction, especially on wet surfaces. This means that the tire can still perform excellently on wet, dry, icy, or snowy surfaces without any problems. The tire comes fully-equipped with wide tread grooves to increase grip and traction. The tread grooves also help remove slush and water from the tire when riding on wet ground.
You should consider changing all tires of one side to maintain balance or prevent misalignment. Both these tires have slightly different width. On the other hand, the tires have an excellent load index, are affordable and is fuel efficient due to its less need of fuel for their lower rolling resistance. Skip to content VS Tires Selecting the right tires can be tricky.
Brand: Hankook. Load capacity of up to pounds. Load capacity of up to 3, pounds. Tire Diameter is 15 Inches. Treadlife: 70, miles. Treadwear Warranty: 70, miles. Has sound deadning capability that gives you quiter ride. All Season Tires. Tire width — 8. Rubber tires with tread that are designed to channel water. For practical reasons the is fine because it is a more popular size, the load rating is higher and the larger sidewall offers slightly and I mean slightly better curb protection simply because they bulge out a litte more and softer ride.
For daily driving it is just as good a choice as going Either way, tire width is just one part of the equation; the tire compound, tread design, and construction are much more important when I'm selecting a tire.
Daily driving aside, what about for autoX? Is the weight savings worth it? Stock size Also the car will sit about. Will the higher max load of the basically make for a stiffer side wall? So the and may be the same as far as slop? Originally Posted by outahere. But still relevant.

I mean except for the fact that my car doesnt run and Im going to have to put it on blocks to get my wheels off then take them somewhere to get the tires off. Reply Quote 0.
