Can I change my vehicle's tire size?
Whilst it is possible to change the size of the tires that are installed on your vehicle, you should be careful as it could have a negative impact on your vehicle:
1. Smaller diameter outside due to smaller tire or rim size.
- Load capability issues
- Issues with gear settings or the speedometer
- Higher levels of fuel consumption
2. Bigger diameter outside due to bigger tire or rim size.
- Impacting the wheel arch when steering
- Heavier steering
- Issues to gear settings or the speedometer
The industry recommends that if you do change the size of your tires, it is by no more than 1% from the original tire size.
