What's the performance difference between 15 inch, 16 inch and 17inch tires (all else equal)?
Assuming the same outside rolling diameter,
going from I.E. 15x6" wheels to 17x8" wheels: - More stopping power - More responsive steering But: - Less straight-line tracking - Lower fuel economy These can be overcome by: 1. Designing in more caster or SAI for self-centering. 2. Reduce amount of power steering boost. 3. Higher recommended cold tire pressure. |
