If the wheels of a giant mining dump truck are worn out, the “miners” are in for serious expenses: each such tire costs as much as several cars. You can save only on balancing - it is useless for slowly rotating wheels of dump trucks.

Do you know what determines how gigantic the newly created dump trucks will be? Not only from the desires of large customers and marketing research of dump truck manufacturers.

The determining link is tire workers.

After Michelin released the first radial mining truck tire in 18.00R25 (18 is the tire width in inches) in 1959, the entire mining industry began to follow the achievements of French engineers with interest. The larger the tire and the load that it is able to take on, the higher the load capacity of the dump truck and more profitable business. It is not easy to develop durable tires capable of withstanding loads of tens of tons - this was an obstacle at the beginning of the journey. Truly gigantic cars began to appear only in the 1970s, when the right “shoes” appeared.

Until 1964, the largest radial tire had a 39-inch rim, but by the end of the decade, the rim had reached 51 inches. The real breakthrough in the industry came in 1976 when Michelin introduced the 57-inch 40.00R57 tire. This led to a surge in megalomania in the mining industry. For more than two decades, 57 inches has been the limit. But in the late 1990s Caterpillar decided to develop a mining truck with an unprecedented load capacity (345 tons) - model 797B. It was then that the first 63-inch tire was born - the development of Michelin. This indicator was derived based on the maximum possible total weight of the machine - 624 tons, limited by the capabilities of tires. Maximum load one 63-inch tire - 104 tons, there are six wheels in total, and the weight between the axles of the car is distributed proportionally. As it is easy to calculate, 624 tons is really the limit.

However, in terms of carrying capacity, Caterpillar is now No. 2 in the world. In 2004, the Liebherr T 282 B dump truck debuted with a load capacity of 363 tons, which was dubbed the "eighth wonder of the world" in the press. It was possible to achieve such a high figure by reducing the own weight of the machine: full mass dump truck - 592 t.

At the moment, the world's largest dump truck with a carrying capacity of 450 tons is .

Today the most big tires have dimension 59/80R63. Only two manufacturers produce them in series - the Michelin and Bridgestone concerns. The Michelin 59/80R63 XDR tire has an extra-deep tread, due to which it stands out for its long service life, but, accordingly, the high price of $60,000 per balloon.

The Michelin 59/80R63 XDR tire weighs over 5 tons! The giant wheel can withstand a load of more than 100 tons, and especially high demands are placed on its strength. In this regard, the composition of the tire includes 890 kg of steel! The main material, of course, is rubber: it contains 3850 kg in a tire - it would be enough to produce about 600 passenger tires.

Are tires coming soon? bigger size? The answer is no. “Transportation makes it impossible to produce tires with a larger diameter,” explains Louis-Gayol Kaineck, marketing director for Michelin's Heavy Duty Tires division. Every year, the company sends thousands of giant tires to remote areas of the planet - by ships, planes, rail and road trains.

According to an international study, the largest possible tire diameter for transportation using all these methods is 4.3 m, and the outer diameter of the largest Michelin tires is 4.03 m. Theoretically, you can slightly increase the tire, slightly increase the load it can withstand, but this will require large investments, and the effect will be insignificant. So "63 inches" is the limit for today, and a new round of gigantomania is not expected in the near future.

path of least resistance

Although all passenger cars have been running exclusively on radial tires for many years, bias tires were installed on some BelAZ dump trucks relatively recently. Such wheels are characterized by a simpler design, cheaper to manufacture, they are distinguished by the strength of the sidewalls, but high rolling resistance (respectively increased consumption fuel) and a shorter service life negate their advantages. Therefore, Michelin stopped producing bias tires for mining trucks back in 1980, and the Bobruisk enterprise Belshina, which previously supplied BelAZ with bias tires, now produces mainly radial tires (more than 90% of its products). Since the development and production of giant tires is not an easy task, tires for relatively small BelAZ dump trucks are produced in Bobruisk, and Bridgestone and Michelin tires are purchased for the giants.

If someone had a question, what are the largest tires in the arsenal of the American Goodyear, it's a Goodyear RM-4A+ in size 59/80 R63, which is the same size and about the same weight as an elephant. These OTR (Off-The-Road) tires are designed for the largest dump trucks used in the mining industry.

Giant good year tires are sold all over the world and installed on dump trucks working in quarries where coal, gold, copper, etc. are mined. The outer diameter is 4.023 meters, which is more than the allowed height of trucks in most European countries. Basketball hoops are a meter below. The weight is 5.4 tons, the load capacity is 100 tons, and maximum speed- 50 km/h.

63-inch tires have a metal frame and belt. They were created using the latest technology computer modeling, and the development was carried out in collaboration with manufacturers of mining equipment. The tires are made from a special Cool-Running CycleMax compound that reduces heat generation. Grooves in the center of the tread can interlock for increased stability, while reinforced sidewalls provide additional protection. Goodyear RM-4A+ are available in 53/80 R63 and 59/80 R63. Available in three types rubber compound and different tread depths (E3 and E4).

The biggest cars in the world

Our time is the era of machines. A person does not have sufficient muscle strength to move heavy objects, lift blocks of stone, and remove tons of rock from the ground. But we have a mind and a long time ago began to use assistants or various devices for heavy work.

In ancient times, these were various domestic animals and the simplest devices: levers, blocks, winches. As time went on, progress did not stand still. The restless human mind has managed to "tame" such forces of nature as water, steam and electricity. People have learned to create huge mechanisms that do the most difficult and dangerous work for us. Some of them are truly impressive. We have prepared a list for you that includes biggest cars in the world.

10. Mining machine Bagger 288

The dimensions of this machine are really impressive: its length is 240 meters, height - 96 meters, and width - 40. We can say that this combine occupies the area of ​​​​two football fields. However, this machine can move independently on the roads: the harvester has twelve tracks with which it can drive independently. Of course, not very fast (0.5 km/h).

In general, it should be noted that machines that are designed for mining or construction work are often huge. The reason for this is the large amount of work they have to do. Bagger 288 is no exception.

It is used for laying pipelines or trenches for various communications. The performance of the machine is very high. For the operation of the harvester, an enormous amount of energy is needed, it consumes about the same amount as a small city. Only four people can manage this giant.

9.

To remove the soil that is removed from the ground by mining machines of this size, an appropriate dump truck is needed. And, of course, he is. It can be added that all trucks that are used in mining are huge.

One of the largest is considered a dump truck Liebherr T282B. It is 14.5 meters long, 7.4 meters high and 9 meters wide. This monster weighs 232 tons, and it is capable of transporting 363 tons of cargo at a time. The engine power of this giant is 3650 Horse power.

The wheels of this car are amazing - they are simply huge. It is worth noting that wheels are always in short supply - they simply do not have time to produce them.

8.

Another giant dump truck that is used to work in quarries. It is considered the second largest in the world in terms of its carrying capacity. At one time, this giant can transport 345 tons of cargo. These machines are used in iron, coal, copper and gold quarries. Their owners have long considered that it is much more profitable to have one big car than a few small ones.

7.

Another dump truck that was built to work in mines and quarries. It was made in a single copy at the General Motors plant in 1973, and at one time it was the biggest truck on the planet. This machine can carry up to 350 tons of cargo at a time. Now this giant is already retired and is a landmark of one of the museums.

6. BelAZ 75600

Another giant machine that works in quarries and coal mines. The height of this truck exceeds the height of a three-story house. At one time, it can carry 320 tons of cargo. The engine noise of the dump truck is so strong that people only work in it with special headphones. Volume fuel tank- more than 4300 liters.

5.

The largest passenger car in the world(rather, the longest) is the Bugatti Type 41 "La Royale", which was released back in 1927. This machine was mass-produced, its length is 6.7 meters.

This car can be attributed to exclusive cars, it was produced to order and usually very rich people became its customers. At first, the company that produced these cars was doing very well, the moneybags lined up, but then the Great Depression struck and demand plummeted. Today at good condition there are six cars, some of them are presented in various museums.

4.

This the longest of modern cars . Its length is 6.16 meters. This is a car executive class, its price starts from 430 thousand euros. On the basis of this car, the Maybach Landaulet was created, which is considered one of the most expensive cars in the world, its price is 900 thousand euros. Such machines can even be equipped with armor protection, if the customer so desires.

This car has all the comforts you can imagine: great climate control, luxurious interior trim, refrigerator, excellent audio system.

3.

Car-based cranes are very convenient. They are mobile, they can be delivered to any point in a very short period of time. They have one drawback - their rather small carrying capacity. German engineers decided to correct this situation and created a real monster: the Mammoth LTM truck crane.

It is the largest wheeled crane in the world. This car has nine pairs of wheels. It is capable of lifting 1200 tons to a height of 180 meters. The car has hydraulic supports on which it relies during its operation. Preparation for use takes eight hours.

2.

This world's largest bulldozer, which is capable of moving a volume of soil several times larger than a conventional bulldozer. This machine is designed and manufactured in Japan. It has very impressive parameters. The bulldozer is 4.9 meters high, 12.5 meters long and 7.5 meters wide. The car weighs 152.6 tons, that is, as much as three modern tanks weigh.

1. Goliath excavator

Counts most big car in the world. It was created in a single copy and currently operates in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. This machine is used to mine coal to provide one of the cities with electricity.

Coal is mined in a quarry, and the coal seam is located at a depth of more than thirty meters. Goliath's task is to get to the coal and mine it. The height of the excavator is 65 meters, its boom is 122 meters long, and the bucket weighs 250 tons. At the same time, the excavator is able to move independently, though not very fast. He moves with the help of special skis, which he rearranges one after another. The speed of such movement is 320 meters per hour. Only two people operate the machine, but a whole team of mechanics is needed to maintain it.

In one shift, this excavator can remove 48,000 tons of soil from the ground.

What else to see:

Big, beautiful off-road tires are a key component for any off-road vehicle, as the increased wheel size adds ground clearance and traction to the vehicle. Plus the big wheels look amazing. But did you know that big wheels will cost you some ? Here is more about this topic.

look Subaru test at the stand for measuring the power of the car. The authors of this decided to find out how big wheels affect the power of the Subaru CrossTrek.

As follows from the explanations of the author of the video, the test car was delivered from the factory with all-season Yokohama tires Geolander R17 225 / 60. Then, before the test on the stand, Subaru CrossTrek installed off-road tires BF Goodrich R15 235/75.

Also, off-road wheels gave the car extra weight. According to the video description, the off-road 15-inch wheels added 11.6 pounds (5.26 kg) of unsprung weight to the Subrau. That is, in fact, the weight of the machine has increased by more than 5 kg.

So let's move on to the 2018 Subaru CrossTrek dyno results. Initially, the power of the car should be 152 liters. With. with a maximum torque of 145 lb-ft (197 Nm). On the day this video was filmed, on a Subaru dyno with regular wheels showed a maximum power of 141 liters. With. with a maximum torque of 131 lb-ft (178 Nm).

With regards to off-road 15-inch wheels, by installing them on the car and testing it at the stand, the experts found out how it affects specifications Subaru. So, the test results showed that the Subaru CrossTrek on 15-inch wheels with BF Goodrich R15 235/75 tires produces only 127 hp. With. with a maximum torque of 122 lb-ft (165 Nm).

What happened? Why did wheels with smaller rims but larger tires have such an impact on the car? Why has Subaru's power and torque dropped so much?

It's all about rotational inertia, which fluctuates in the mass of the wheel. Indeed, according to the laws of physics, the faster an object rotates, the faster its rotational mass decreases. So, off-road wheels are heavier and 1 inch larger in outer diameter, respectively, the rotational inertia decreases, which, of course, ultimately affects the mass of the wheels. Consequently, heavier wheels inevitably result in a loss of power.

By the way, well-known video blogger Jason Fenske explained this from a scientific point of view back in 2013, detailing how wheel size affects power and maximum torque. Here is his video:

As Fenske explains, the key is why increasing the wheel diameter (even if you make the rim smaller by putting on off-road tires with more meat, you will most likely increase the outer diameter of the wheel) plays, and therefore this leads to slower acceleration car. Moreover, this happens without taking into account weight, for example, when installing off-road tires and new rims did not increase the weight of the car (although in most cases when installing off-road wheels vehicle weight tends to increase). But in our example, Subaru has become heavier by more than 5 kg. Accordingly, weight still further affects the loss of dynamic performance of the car.

You look, judging by the measurements on the dyno, the Subaru CrossTrek lost 14 hp. With. and a maximum torque of 9 lb-ft (12.2 Nm), and is also heavier by more than 5 kg. And this is only because of the increase in the outer diameter of the wheels by only 1 inch.

True, this test does not prove that such a substitution standard rubber off-road will definitely lead to the same results.

However, most likely, installation on any car instead of factory tires for the city off-road tires will inevitably lead to loss of vehicle power.

And note that it was all season tires. And how much power will the car lose if, instead of the usual city regular 17-inch tires, winter off-road tires of the same size and the same diameter are put on the Subaru? You know, there is no such information on the Internet yet. It's just that no one has yet taken measurements on the stand to answer this question. But judging by the weight winter tires for the Subaru CrossTrek, one can imagine how much the power and torque of the car will drop after the car becomes heavier by about 20 kg (due to the increase in unsprung weight). And we are not talking about fuel consumption yet. After all, we all know that the greater the weight of the car, the greater the consumption.

So if you want to equip your car with big wheels, you should know that it will inevitably lose power and strength. If you want a car with large wheels not to lose dynamic characteristics, then you then need to modify your car, improving the gearbox, engine or drive.

But first you need to make a little clarification and explain why the emphasis here is on the rear wheels. The fact is that in powerful supercars during acceleration, due to the redistribution of weight, the main load falls on the rear wheels. And if there is a whole carriage under the hood, then the wider the tire, the higher the "hook" and the more efficient the transformation of this power into acceleration. This is why the rear wheels of sports cars are generally wider than the front ones.

Width 315 mm

Tires of the same width (315 mm) as those of the future Dodge Challenger SRT Demon are now worn, for example, by the Ferrari F12tdf, built in a limited edition (799 pieces) in honor of the Tour de France. It is based on the ferocious F12 Berlinetta itself. But the special version of tdf is even meaner!

It is noteworthy that for the rear-wheel drive F12tdf, Ferrari also offers winter wheels. They are narrower than summer tires, and the manufacturer allows the use of rear tires with a width of "only" 305 mm with chains!

The Italians boosted the standard atmospheric 6.2-liter V12 engine for the F12tdf from 740 to 780 hp, and the torque increased from 690 to 705 Nm. And all this traction has to be taken on rear wheels through a "robot", which had gear ratios "shortened" by 6%. After all these alterations, the F12tdf picks up 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds, accelerates to 200 km / h in 7.9 seconds, and the maximum speed is 340 km / h.

Width: 325mm

Mercedes-Benz, Porsche

Didn't expect to see an SUV in this review? But this G 500 4x4² is already equipped with such rubber from the factory that you will not find it on every sports car! At Mercedes-Benz, this "super Gelendvagen" came off in full. They put portal bridges on it, bringing the clearance to 46 cm (!), "harnessed" a 422-horsepower V8 gasoline bi-turbo engine, with which acceleration to 100 km / h takes 7.4 seconds ... And so that all this crazy economy tenaciously clings to the asphalt and less sinking on the roads, supplied the "square" with 325/55 R22 tires - the largest ever put on a serial 4-wheel G-class!

For the background, wheels of the same width (albeit only at the back) are placed, for example, on the hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder, which is three-engine and, for its part, also no less crazy. The "heart" of the most-very Porsche in the history of the company is a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a return of 608 horsepower and a "cut-off" at 9150 rpm. And each axle here additionally turns its own electric motor. In total, it turned out 887 hp. and 1280 Nm of thrust (this is more than the more powerful LaFerrari), acceleration to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 351 km / h. By the way, we have already managed to get the 918 Spyder too.

Width 335 mm

Another "American" in our review is the "hot" Chevrolet Corvette Z06 of the current generation. And at the back, he has seemingly solid tires with a width of 335 mm. But if you remember what kind of monster lives under the hood of the Z06, then this value no longer seems so impressive.

The current Corvette is the last to have the engine in the front. The next Corvette will be central-engined and even more powerful. Apparently, the wheels will become even wider.

And under the hood, the Z06 has a hefty 6.2-liter V8 equipped with a mechanical supercharger. It was with the help of this compressor that 650 hp was squeezed out of the engine. and 881 Nm of torque, which are capable of turning rubber into a rapidly burning "consumable" without much stress. But the upcoming version, which will be a farewell for the current generation of Corvette, will develop 750-800 "forces"! Poor tires...

Width 345 mm

Lamborghini and Koenigsegg

Another unexpected SUV in our review is the famous Lamborghini LM002, nicknamed "Rambo-Lambo", which has long passed into the category of collector's rarities. The car was born after the failure of Lamborghini in the US Army tender, which was eventually won by the equally famous Humvee. But the Italians did not throw away the developments and eventually "grew" from them a luxurious civilian LM002 with a 450-horsepower V12 from the Countach sports car. And especially for this monster, Pirelli created huge high-profile tires measuring 345/60 R17! They perfectly kept a heavy car not only on asphalt, but also on sand, which is not surprising: LM002 was made with an eye on Arab sheikhs ...

LM002 - the first serial SUV Lamborghini. True, from 1986 to 1993, only 328 vehicles were produced, 140 of which were military versions for Libya and Saudi Arabia. On request, the LM002 was also equipped with a 7.2-liter V12 from a sea boat!

In contrast to the crazy SUV from Lamborghini, let's recall the no less crazy hypercar Koenigsegg One: 1 (top photo) weighing only 1.36 tons. The essence of this device is in the name One: 1, which meant a ratio of 1 hp. /1 kg of weight. Due to two turbochargers, 1360 hp were squeezed out of the 5-liter V8 in Koenigsegg. and 1371 Nm of torque. And all this - on the rear wheel drive! To "convert" this into acceleration to 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds, Michelin rear tires with a width of 345 mm were called upon. By the way, for One:1 tires, a "maximum speed" of 440 km / h was declared!

We watch the cars adorned big wheels. The huge radius of the disks looks impressive, even intimidating. It is obvious to everyone that there is a predator on the road. However, be aware that it can be practical. How good are large wheels, let's take a closer look.

When purchasing a new “horse”, many people think for a moment, maybe they should install disks on a car with a larger landing size. In the list of services, it is possible to install a couple of inches more radius. However, the brake system will have to be changed. For adequate operation of the brakes, it is necessary to modify the length brake pipes and hoses.

Let's dive into the chronicle

If we consider the chronicle of the change in the parameters of the wheel, two currents will be found. At first, the wheels became smaller in size, a little later the landing and outer radius actively increased. Let's dive into the historical background. The cars that appeared first had really huge wheels.

You know, on the Mercedes Simplex they attached "wheels" 910 to 90 and 1020 to 120 to rear axles. In a radius, that's practically 80 inches! The landing size was over 20 inches. This is way back in 1902.

Large wheels have a good effect on the vehicle's patency. Each car was, in theory, an SUV. This is not to drive on an asphalt highway! The roads, or rather the paths, were country roads, with various bumps and pits. The wheels used to be with thin rims. wide wheels will start producing much later. The profile height will remain at least 70 percent of the width. Until diagonal tires take the place of radials.

Wheels on such cars were, of course, made of wood. Only in the latest issues did an innovation appear - stamped steel disc. Some time has passed. Shiny spoked wheels became popular.

Half a century later… In the 1950s, cars ran on thin, narrow wheels. The diameter has become smaller. Passenger cars no longer needed to wade through such broken paths. The Moskvich 402 car rode on wheels 5.6 by 15. The same applied to many models. The most reduced wheel radii went to cars from the 70s to the 90s. The landing diameter has become smaller - 13-14 inches. The dimension of the tire section slowly decreased to 75, and later to 65 percent.

After a while it is observed stable increase in wheel size. Tire radii have become larger and on the smallest cars - up to 30 inches. The most popular disc diameters were 16. Here you can’t say that the reason was the obvious destruction of roads, but due to the need to increase cross-country ability. Maybe it's just become fashionable?

One fashion cannot explain the focus on increasing the size. A car with large wheels looks spectacular and attractive. At least it looks more like a design sketch than a typical copy. It is much more interesting to develop a beautiful disk design in such a situation. There are, however, reasonable reasons for the growth of the wheels.

You probably know about cars called "lowrider". They are famous for their lowered modified suspension. So, installing big wheels is an inexpensive and simple transformation that allows you to bring out the accent of the lowrider style.

Often elevated wheels need increased wheel arches. Especially if the wheels work together with a lowered suspension. Sometimes large wheels are given decorative rims of arches with a metallic sheen. Looks extremely impressive. At the same time, large wheels require thinner tires. Decorative frames of arches are fashionable to decorate with cool design solutions, by type: futuristic or strict form of arch bulge or airbrushing.

Is the wheel with the largest outside diameter better?

On the one hand, yes. Because the contact area between the tire and the road will increase. Even without making the tire softer, it is possible to expand the plane of contact with the road surface by reducing the curvature of the wheel itself at the point of contact. You may not feel the difference, but this does two things:

1. Improving the grip of the wheels and the track. Reduced braking distance will increase the safety of driving in general.
2. Increasing economy. You can use a tire with a lot of pressure and not be afraid of deteriorating wheel traction.

In turn, increasing the working tire pressure will allow you to more accurately control the car. Machine coordination will be better. The bending of the sidewall of the machine wheel will decrease. But that's the main problem. pneumatic tires. An increased lateral load on machine wheels leads to a curvature of the contact patch, a deterioration in the optimal tread shape. Grip deteriorates, in this situation, when part of the tire simply loses contact with the road surface.

Under the term "breaking" refers to a situation in which the sidewall of the tire loses its shape due to overload. In this case, the tire comes into contact with the side of the track, while the treadmill of the wheel is practically not put into operation. rim depressurizes with the tire. As a result, traction with the road surface is lost almost completely.

Permeability also becomes much better. This is due to the increased length of the sealing wedge. This is the name of the zone within which the limp soil of the road does not scatter in the axles, but gains strength, bending under the wheel. Ground clearance and visibility also increases due to the large wheels.

Disadvantages of a large outer diameter wheel

Unfortunately for everyone, it is impossible to simply increase the size of the wheel to improve traction. Let's stop at consequences of an increase in diameter. First of all, now the wheels will become heavier than the usual, standard ones. The consumption of rubber and metal will also increase.

The mass of the wheel and parts of the suspension arms will increase. This mass is called "unsprung". All this makes the grip of the wheel with the track uncomfortable. In the back, the spare wheel will take up much more space, creating harmful air turbulence along the way. Big wheel is actually softer than usual, it negatively affects the handling of the car.

With shortcomings, an active struggle is quite possible.

The tire diameter continues to increase.

It is clear that the larger wheel has grip advantages, only if the side surface does not break and does not lose shape in a turn, the rigidity of the rim will help to avoid its curvature under the influence of lateral load. In other words, the negative effects of increasing the mass of the wheel, most likely, will not be able to outweigh the positive ones.

By reducing the height of the tires, we found a way out. This was the reason to make a larger landing diameter. Resistance to lateral forces has become better due to the fact that the height of the sidewall has been minimized. The rim is stiffer than rubber. An alloy wheel, in turn, has a greater rigidity than a steel one. So the total mass of the tire + disk will be slightly less.

In addition, increasing the size of the inner diameter of the tire, namely the diameter of the disc, is extremely optimal for the brake mechanism. Because of design features disc brakes are most often placed inside the wheel disc. The size of the disc, as a result, imposes restrictions on the dimensional parameters of the brake disc, as well as the caliper. The cooling of the brakes is faster and better, due to their size. In addition, it will provide a smooth deceleration, among other advantages.

Low profile tyres. Flaws…

There are no perfect technical solutions. By lowering the profile of the tire, and increasing the landing diameter, we get our own disadvantages of such a solution. Rolling stiffness and vibration await us with a decrease in the cross section of the "rubber layer". The body of the car and the suspension have a lot more bumps and bumps.

The increase in pressure of the machine wheel in operation also affects. This will make it tougher. The tire will cost more due to the increased requirements for sidewall strength and the difficulty of maintaining the shape of a wide machine tire with low beads.

New suspensions and modern shock absorbers will cope with the disadvantages of low profile rubber. However, the fact is indisputable: high profile provides the car with better comfort.

Expensive factory big wheels

Service centers offer the option of installing more rim. However, the cost of such pleasure is extremely high. Why then the price of a set of branded discs from a reseller costs less. Why is that and where is the catch?

The fact is that the service also includes adjustment of the suspension parameters, as well as the brake system. They put brake systems and shock absorbers made specifically for the wheels are heavier than usual. Putting a winter kit with wheels a couple of inches smaller on this car will not work. Smaller tires will not fit on such a caliper.

Summing up

Advantages of big wheels:

• The car will improve handling.
• Acceleration dynamics will become better, and the braking distance will become shorter on the road.
• Attractive and daring car exterior.
• By increasing the outer diameter of the tire, the permeability becomes much better.
• The brake system is replaced with one that is more powerful.
• Review from driver's seat will get much better.
