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.

sorry kung medyo ot

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

the primary reason for upsizing wheel/tire combos is:
1. added traction
2. to accomodate bigger brakes
3. porma hehehe

bigger tires will result in a slighty higher topspeed...
but it will certainly DECREASE your straight-line acceleration.
though this is negligible if you have a high hp / torque engine.
