From rotating your tires to get a smoother commute in Myrtle Beach to checking your tire tread to avoid a blowout, the team at Hadwin-White Subaru is ready for all your tire related questions. Do tires affect MPG? You might be surprised to find out that this is, in fact, the case! We’ve got the answers to that and these questions ready for you:
So, do bigger tires affect mpg? Yes, they do. But why do bigger wheels affect mpg?
When you put your vehicle in drive, the rolling resistance is the force that slows down your tires. Rolling resistance is the friction between your tires and the ground. So, more resistance gives you poorer fuel economy. Larger tires have more rolling resistance, so they contribute to poor fuel economy.
Tire size, air drag, road quality, and more play a role in how much resistance is being put on your tires. If you want to boost your MPG, you can explore low-resistance tires with thinner sidewalls, lower weight, and shallower treads.
