What is tyre upsizing?
Tyre upsizing is nothing but installing larger wheels on car than the manufacturer recommended one. Upsizing is primarily done to give a better look (due to bigger wheels) and driving control (due to more contact with road).Benifits of Tyre Upsizing
Upsizing tires can offer several potential benefits. Firstly, larger tires can improve traction and handling, particularly in cornering and braking situations. They may also enhance the vehicle's stability at higher speeds. Additionally, upsizing can provide a more aggressive or sporty look to the vehicle.However, there are considerations to keep in mind when upsizing tires. Increasing the tire size can impact the vehicle's speedometer accuracy and gear ratios, leading to incorrect speed readings and potential strain on the engine. It can also affect the vehicle's suspension, clearance, and overall ride quality. Upsized tires may rub against the wheel wells or other components if they are too large, leading to potential damage.
