bigger rims/tires = faster ride?

[badkuk]

dunno if this qualifies as a WorkShop topic; mods pakilipat na lang kung hindi...

say you got a car, then replace the stock rims with larger ones. di ba per revolution of the tires, you travel farther because of the larger diameter? ano kaya ung effect nito, do you necessarily go faster, or just more efficient?

it will be faster than what's indicated in your speedometer. but acceleration will suffer since it will require more torque to turn the bigger wheels.

yup. magiging off ng ilang % ang speedometer reading sa actual speed mo. but there wont be any actual increase in speed.

i see. any(scientific) way of calibrating the speedometer? or baka kelangan nang icustomize sa manufacturer?

merong module na nabibili para sa recalibration.

isa pang tanong: wider, bigger faster tires = mas matagtag?

are their weight significantly heavier than stock rims ?

sorry kung medyo ot

1.Di tutoo
2.Get forged wheels.It;s very light.

This site was very useful when I was choosing tires and rims it will also give you speed reading base on your inputs.

ganito kasi sabi ng iba sa ibang forum:

bigger diameter = more speed = more gas

heheh..kasi more power to accelerate the car..

definitely matagtag if you install low profile tires, 30-40 series tires
