Properly Upgrading Wheels And Tyres Requires More Than Just A Fistful Of Cash.
The most important pieces of real estate on your car are those four small contact patches that grip the road – yes, your tyres. Those few square centimeters of rubber determine, well, just about everything. Tyres harness the engine’s power, allow the brakes to do their job and determine how successfully a car will go around a corner – whether it’s pulling into a parking space or screaming into a high-speed bend.
Yes, tyres carry an enormous burden. That thin strip of round and black is a complex assembly of cables and rubbers, moulded into a highly engineered profile. It’s then mounted on to a wheel and, of course, inflated with air to give it shape and definition. The manufacturers behind your vehicle, tyres and wheels worked together to carefully engineer an optimum combination of grip, road feel, ride quality, noise control and tyre wear.
