How
Changing your Tire Size Could be Dangerous
Author:
Jeremy Biberdorf
When it
comes time to replace your vehicle's tires, tire size is very
important. If you ever switch to a different sized tire, you
could damage your vehicle. Before switching tire sizes, do some
research to ensure that it can be done safely.
Most drivers will not need to change their vehicle's tire size.
Stock tire size is what your vehicle was designed to use. These
are some vehicle components affected by changing a tire size:
•Both the speedometer and odometer are calibrated based on the
height of your tires. Taller tires would make the speedometer
read slower than actual speed. Shorter tires would show a higher
speedometer reading.
•Newer vehicles have internal computers that base calculations
on the tire's height. Components, such as Anti-lock Braking
Systems, could fail with a different tire size.
•Stock suspension could have additional stress with a taller
tire, resulting in faster wear and/or failure. For substantial
increases in tire height, you should upgrade from stock suspension.
Despite these concerns, some circumstances do require a tire
size change. For someone looking to modify their vehicle, the
wheels are often the first place to start. Stock wheels are
often plain and don't attract much attention. When people switch
their vehicle's wheels, they upgrade to a larger diameter stock
wheel. These people get a lower profile tire that is close to
stock tire height. Most tire industry professionals recommend
no more than a 3% height difference from stock. Of course closer
is better.
Sometimes there is poor selection in a vehicle's stock tire
size. With common tire sizes, each major tire manufacturer offers
at least several choices. Some rare tire sizes are only manufactured
by a few companies. If those few tire choices don't match your
climate and driving style, you might need to change tire sizes.
You can often find a similar tire size with more choices.
If you insist on switching tire sizes, double check with some
tire industry professionals. Your car dealer will likely try
to persuade you from altering any stock specifications, but
ask anyway. Check with some tire shops, but beware they might
put the sale as the first priority. Another good place to ask
advice is in automotive forums. Find a good forum specific to
your vehicle type and ask their opinion. You'd be surprised
how easy is it to find someone else who has already tried a
tire size. Be aware that people on forums aren't necessarily
industry professionals.
You can do your own research and try using a tire size calculator
featured on various automotive websites. These tire calculators
allow you to compare specifications of different tire sizes.
They display the tire height, width, RPMs, speedometer difference
and more. These tools aren't exact as a tire size can slightly
vary from one tire model to another, but they are very good
tools. So use a tire size calculator as a general guide. Then
confirm your calculations with a tire industry professional.
You can also find the exact measured height of each tire model
if you visit the tire manufacturer's website.
When possible you should use your vehicle's stock tire size.
Don't switch just because you find a good price in a different
size. A lot of things in your vehicle were designed for the
stock tire size. If you do have to switch tire sizes, make sure
the size is safe for your vehicle.
