With the progress of social economy and the development of the automotive industry, the car in daily life today is no longer regarded as an expensive luxury as it was decades ago. Especially in the case of many car manufacturers constantly competing for the market, the price of cars is gradually decreasing. Because of this, more and more people are now able to buy a car as a means of transportation for their daily travel.
Before buying a car, most car owners will do relevant market research. However, in this area of investigation, car owners tend to focus on engines, gearboxes and chassis. While it's true that these are some of the more important components of the car, one key component is missed: the tire.
You must know that tires are actually equivalent to the value of shoes to us humans compared to cars. If a person does not have a pair of shoes that fit well, in the process of walking or running, it is obvious that a lot of physical strength will be wasted, and the same is true for cars. If there is no suitable set of tires, then in the process of driving, it is bound to affect the driving experience of car owners, and even with certain safety hazards.
Under normal circumstances, when buying a new car, it is standard with the original tire, and the vast majority of car owners will directly use such original tires on the road. In the eyes of some car owners, the original tires can not make themselves satisfied, in this case, this part of the owners will consider trying to replace their favorite tires.
So at this time, should we choose "wide tires" or "narrow tires"? It should be known that whether it is a wide tire or a narrow tire, since it exists, there must be a certain reason, and there will be its own advantages and disadvantages. On this issue, the old driver said that he slipped his mouth, hoping that the owners did not choose the wrong one.
Before understanding this problem, the first thing to know is how should wide tires or narrow tires be defined? In general, the general tire width of family cars is between 195 and 205, while some SUVs will use tires of 215 or 225 widths. Usually, the higher the level of the car, the better the power, and the wider the tires often used.
Of course, there is a matter of whether the tire is a wide tire, it also needs to be compared with the average level of the same level, and it is absolutely impossible to speculate whether your tire is a wide tire or a narrow tire through subjective assumptions. More importantly, with the development of car modification technology, although more and more tires can be replaced today, it must comply with the provisions of the Traffic Law.
So what are the advantages and disadvantages of wide tires and narrow tires? In fact, the answer is very simple, the main difference lies in the following four aspects. First of all, in the most intuitive price, among the same level of car tires, the price of wide tires is often more expensive than narrow tires. The main reason for this difference is that wide tires are significantly more comfortable to drive than narrow tires.
The second is the performance stability, wide tires due to the larger area, stronger grip, in the process of driving will often make the stability of the vehicle significantly improved. When brakes are needed, wide tires require shorter safe braking distances than narrow tires. So, in this regard, wide tires are obviously superior to narrow tires.
So in the process of using the car, do you have to choose wide tires? The answer is no. Keep in mind that wide tires, while more gripful, also mean more friction. In order to overcome this grip, the car's fuel consumption will increase accordingly. Therefore, from the perspective of the proportion of fuel consumption consumption, narrow tires will actually be better.
In fact, how to choose the tires of the car is mainly to see what their needs are. If you are driving a family car, generally traveling on urban roads, then narrow tires are completely sufficient. Not only that, but the roads in the city are often very flat, and the driving feeling of the car is also very comfortable.
But if you are a car owner who often likes to travel by car, then wide tires are obviously a better choice. Especially in some cases where the road conditions are worse, the grip area of the wide tires is larger, and the driving experience will be satisfied accordingly. When the brakes are needed, they can also ensure the safety of the owner.
However, it is worth noting that when actually changing tires, it is necessary to ensure that the four tires are replaced at the same time, and that all four tires have the same size and tire texture. If the first two tires choose narrow tires, while the back two tires choose wide tires, it is bound to lead to uncoordinated force wear, and eventually the problem of tire bursts. This is like people buying shoes, it is always impossible to buy a large size with one foot, and a smaller size with the other foot, just from the appearance, it is obviously not in line with people's aesthetic concepts.
