Things to Consider in Tire Size Selection - Peugeot Wheel Tire Selection

Dear Peugeot Turkey forum members, Tire preferences for your Peugeot vehicles, which provide a sporty and enjoyable driving experience, are made by the manufacturers as a result of various tests. (During the production of a vehicle, the dimensions that show the best performance in approximately 100 tests are selected) First of all, for those who have no knowledge of the subject, there is some basic information about tires.

Size: It is the part written on the sidewall and expressed with numbers such as 205 / 55R16 91V. Here, Base / Sidewall / Rim Diameter Load Class + Speed Class information is located. Base: It is the name given to the area of the tire in contact with the ground. Sidewall: It is the section ratio of your tire. (You can think of it simply as the distance between the base and your rim. Rim Diameter: It is the value expressing the diameter of your rims and expressed in "inches". Load Class: It is the value expressing the maximum load capacity that each tire can carry when 4 tires are mounted. You can look at the load index table to find the exact KG equivalents of the numbers. Speed Class: It is the table index that expresses the maximum speed of a tire without losing its grip performance values for an hour. You can check the speed classes index table to find the exact KM equivalent. While producing a new car model, each of the above values is individually important. For this reason, the "correct tire dimensions" that each vehicle should use are definitely specified, including inside the driver's door, on the torpedo cover, inside the fuel tank cover and in the vehicle catalog. Tire Sizes; Handling performance Traction Braking distance Fuel consumption Noise Vehicle balance It is directly effective in the fields. For example: You want to change to 185 / 65R15 instead of 185 / 60R15. However, 185 / 65R15 is not included in the metal stickers placed on your vehicle by the manufacturer. In this case, can this size change be made? The main difference between the 185 / 60R15 and 185 / 65R15 sizes is the ground clearance factor. The ground contact surface of the tires and the height of the vehicle are among the most important criteria that determine the stability of your vehicle, especially on bends. In the tests carried out during the production phase, manufacturers do not accept any responsibility in cases of skidding and loss of steering control in sizes other than those that can provide sufficient safety and balance. With the fitting of 65 sidewall tires, the center of balance of your vehicle rising from the ground will also change. What Problems Will You Have In This Case? Manufacturer companies will not accept any responsibility for your complaints about this. If your vehicle is still under warranty, any undercarriage will not provide warranty service for your defects. Insurance and automobile insurance companies do not accept any liability for accidents that may occur in case of using different sizes. As your vehicle rises from the ground disproportionate to the base width, the center of balance will change and skidding will occur on corners.

So What Else Happens In The Changes Of Tire Sizes? Tires with an overly wide base (other than the allowable sizes) increase your fuel consumption.

Oversized base tires (other than allowable sizes) It will cause your engine to be forced to generate extra torque and premature wear of your engine parts. Likewise, tires with an excessively wide base adversely affect the noise levels reflected in the interior of your vehicle and emitted to outside. Wider-based tires have better braking distances on dry roads, which can have negative effects on wet roads. When choosing between summer and winter tires, it is recommended to choose tires with a wider base but lower sidewall section ratio in summer for the same vehicle, and tires with a narrower base but higher sidewall section ratio in winter. (Thus, there will be no problems such as mud - puddle - rubbing under the vehicle on snowy ground, and the narrow bottom will provide better road holding on snow and icy ground) Enlargements outside the manufacturer's list on the base and sidewall may cause your tires to rub against the bodywork and various friction problems will occur in full maneuvers. For example, available dimensions in 1.6 VTi packages in the PEUGEOT 301 2017 model (taken from the manufacturer's list) 185 / 65R15 195 / 65R15 195 / 55R16 205 / 55R16 205 / 50R17 215 / 45R17 These dimensions mean: You can use 185 and 195 base tires on 15 "rim vehicles. 195 and 205 based tire You can use the forward 16 "rim vehicles. However, when 17 "rims are used, when you want to install 215 instead of 205 / 50R17, the tire sidewall section ratio should be 45. Otherwise, the problems mentioned above will occur. Note: When the tire dimensions are checked on the labels on the vehicle, if 185 / 65R15 is used instead of 185 / 60R15, this is a tested and usable measurement by the manufacturer. In this case, the above items are not valid. Many tire manufacturers, who have been serving in the tire industry for a long time, unfortunately defend a thesis that size changes can be made within "conversion rates" for each vehicle. Stating that a change up to 3% will not be a problem, he can recommend different sizes to his customers. This is technically and theoretically incorrect. The conversion up to 3% mentioned here is related to the modification of vehicles and emphasizes how many changes can be made regarding the tire in order to overcome the technical problems that arise in specific cases such as sports spring change, shock absorber system change, offset wheel change. For your safety, it is recommended that you do not allow sizes other than the original tire size list preferred by the factories to be fitted to your vehicle. There is a lot of inaccurate and insufficient information about these issues on the Internet, especially in forums. As a social responsibility, our brand is always focused on guiding you to the most accurate and reliable choice.
