The performance of any tyre is affected by many parameters, with both one-by-one and interlinked effects and consequences.
There are also implications for performance, durability and cost.
Car tyres are offered in different widths ranging from “fat tackies” to “pizza cutters”. Wider tyres are conspicuously the predominant choice for style. Are there any other advantages of wide tyres? What should one look for when choosing tyres?
The technicalities of different tyres are much more complicated than you might think. Width is just one aspect. Others include diameters, tyre-wall height profiles, ply ratings and flexion, tread patterns, air pressures, and casing construction materials.
