1. What does the set of numbers on my tire’s sidewall represent?

The number sequence on your vehicle's tires indicates its size specifications such as width, aspect ratio (the relationship between height and width), construction (radial or bias-ply), diameter, load index, speed rating, among others. The first defining number represents the nominal section-width of a fully inflated tire mounted onto its factory specified rim while measuring from sidewall-to-sidewall expressed in millimeters(mm).

2. How do I know what size tires I need for my car?

Consulting with a professional mechanic is always recommended when switching over from one brand to another as each OEM applies specfic requirements from they aim at achieving performance consistency for all vehicles Hence needing expert opinion may provide assurance that you'll purchase compatible sizes suiting your particular make & model without issues regarding safety or road legality based on locally…

3. Can I put wider tires on my vehicle than those listed in my manual?

While some drivers opt for putting larger wheels/tires than specs say ideal due minimal deflection changing surface areas contact patch varying handling trade-off , experts strongly advise against this unless carefully calibrated so as not negatively affect used parts(conversely enhancing features e.g fuel consumption). To ensure seamless operation always acquire advice personalized for demographics including driver habits georgraphy/topography traversed environmental…

4.What benefits come with using wide tires?

Wider/larger cross-section tires tend to lead to better traction area since a wider patch is now in direct contact with the road surface, therefore more frictional forces acting on both tyre and tarmac.(greater stability) Especially when many cubic liters of fuel are engineered for acceleration/release through high-performance engines which tune optimal torque/horsepower needed at different speeds. Though handling plummets somewhat…
