Can car tires 195 60R16 be replaced with 205 55R16

If the distance between your chassis tires and the tire partition is large enough, you can change it, and if the forum will hit the tire partition when the steering will touch the tire partition, you can install a gasket.

The two tires have different aspect ratios.

Represents the flat ratio of the tire, which is simply the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the percentage of the cross-sectional height of the tire divided by the width of the tire.

"r" refers to the structure of the tire, which means that the tire is a radial structure, that is, its ply layer is arranged in the carcass in the form of an auxiliary shot.

2. High flat ratio tires, the tire sidewall is very long, and the thickness of the middle air layer will be very large, so that there will be a strong cushioning capacity, just like if you wear a pair of shoes with a very thick bottom and good elasticity, it will be very comfortable when walking or stepping on the potholes, but once you run, it is easy to break your feet.

Tires with a low aspect ratio, the tire sidewall is very short, and the air layer in the middle is relatively thin, just like if you wear a pair of shoes with thin soles, any feedback on the road surface is clear, and you will have obvious feelings when stepping on a small stone, obviously it will be very uncomfortable to walk in such shoes. But if you run on the track, your feet can fit the road well, and the shoes are like a part of your feet, and they will run very fast.

After the vehicle is equipped with tires with large width, large inner diameter and low aspect ratio, in addition to strong handling, the appearance and visual effect also give people a very powerful feeling.

Replacement is not recommended. The diameter of the 205 55R16 tire is centimeters, and the diameter of the 205 65R16 tire is centimeters, and the diameter of the whole tire is different by centimeters, so the speedometer is 6% slower than the actual speed, such as running to 100, the speedometer only shows 94. The gap with the original car is relatively large, and it is not recommended to replace it.

If the tire is too large, the most direct impact is that the tire may rub against the wheel arch and lining, as well as the suspension spring base, etc., and the tire may be stuck when steering. The subject wants to change to thick tires to improve comfort.

When changing tires, it is best not to exceed 5% of the size of the original car, if you want to improve the comfort, you can change it to 205 60R16, which is relatively suitable. After the tires are changed, the fuel consumption may increase in response, and the original tires must be changed back to the original when the car is reviewed.

The tires of the original car are 205 60 R16 and cannot be replaced with 205 65R16; If the tires are changed to the front wheels, it can affect the vehicle's maximum turning radius and steering grip, resulting in oversteer or understeer. This affects driving and even driving safety.

If the original car tire 205 60R16 is used with a tire width of 195, it needs to be increased to reduce the aspect ratio accordingly, so as not to change the size of the outer diameter. The closest outer diameter to these two sizes is 215 55 16 with an outer diameter of centimeters.

When it comes to the types of tires, there are actually many classifications: there are classified by car type, some are classified by use, some are classified by size, some are classified according to the pattern, and some are classified according to the structure.

Classified by car type.

Tires are classified according to the type of vehicle, and can be divided into about 8 types. Namely: PC - car tires; LT - light truck tires; TB - truck and bus tires; ag - agricultural vehicle tires; OTR - engineering vehicle tires; ID - Industrial vehicle tires; AC – aircraft tires; MC – Motorcycle tires.
