Is it true??

Currently, my honda jazz is on 15' wheels. However, stock is 14'.

The previous owner of my car must have changed it.

 

 

I heard that bigger tires (as in circumference) will lead to worse fuel consumption and noisier ride. How true is this??

Shouldn't bigger tires lead to better consumption?? And why noisier??

Simple science. Bigger tyres, means bigger surface area = more resistance = more petrol needed to overcome the resistance.

 

Noiser, won't be. Unless your tyres are super lousy ones, or high performance ones. High performance tyres are noisy as they grip the road well
