Hey riders, today we're going to talk about a hot topic: the choice of big wheels and small wheels. Laymen look at the car and are often attracted by the domineering of the big wheels, and feel that the big wheels mean that the vehicle is stable and the driving is more enjoyable. But insiders, that is, experienced veteran drivers, tend to prefer small wheels. What's the secret behind this? Let's find out.
First of all, the big wheels do have their own unique charm. They are usually equipped with wide, thin tires that give a strong visual impact, as if to say, "Look at me, I'm the king of the road." "What's more, the large wheels are often matched with advanced suspension systems that provide a larger ground contact area, making the vehicle ride smoother, as if in the cradle.
However, veteran drivers prefer smaller wheels for several reasons. First of all, the cost of small wheels is lower, which means that the price of the whole vehicle is also more affordable. It's a big draw for those on a budget.
Secondly, the small hub is more agile in handling. When driving on narrow roads or when parking, the narrow tires with small hubs can easily cope with it, making driving easier. And large wheels may not be so convenient in these situations.
Again, the comfort of the small wheels is also a big plus. Due to the thicker tire walls, the small hubs are better able to absorb bumps in the road and provide a more comfortable ride. It's like sitting on your own couch, and it's very comfortable.
In addition, the tires of small hubs are narrow, and the contact area with the ground is small, so the resistance is relatively low. This means that the vehicle will be more fuel-efficient while driving, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for those who are budget-conscious.
Finally, the small wheels are even better in the face of bad road conditions. For example, on potholes or off-road road trips, thick tires with small wheels can better resist the impact of bad road surfaces and reduce the risk of tire damage.
To sum up, large wheels and small wheels have their own merits. If you're looking for a sleek look, superior handling, and a smooth ride, then the big wheels are the way to go. But if you're more affordable, comfortable and fuel-efficient, then a small hub is undoubtedly a more suitable choice.
Well, that's all for today's discussion. The next time you see you, remember that when choosing a wheel, be sure to decide based on your actual needs. Riders, we'll talk next time!
