(1) The influence of tire width on fuel consumption
Generally, when the vehicle leaves the factory, most of the tires it is equipped with are reasonably selected according to the car's own weight and displacement, if the tires are wider, the contact with the ground is also wider, the friction resistance will be larger, and the fuel consumption will naturally be larger; If the tires are narrower, the fuel consumption will also be lower, which can be said to be determined by "innate" factors. And some masters who like to "play" with cars are willing to upgrade and modify the tires, or for braking and handling considerations, the tires are widened, and the modified and widened tires do have many advantages, but the fuel consumption will also increase accordingly, which should be understood and mentally prepared.
(2) The impact of tire tread on fuel consumption
The pattern of the tire can be described as a square inch, and there are all kinds of winds. The design of the pattern should be considered from multiple angles, among which fuel saving is the most important one. Patterns can be roughly divided into three types: off-road, sporty, and comfortable and quiet. Off-road tires have a large pattern and are suitable for driving in bad road conditions such as sand and gravel, and they consume the most fuel. Sporty tires generally emphasize grip, wide tread, free handling, and medium fuel consumption. Comfortable and quiet tires have the lowest fuel consumption due to their delicate and smooth pattern.
(3) The impact of beam angle and inclination angle on fuel consumption
If the four-wheel alignment of the vehicle is not good (incorrect bundle angle and inclination angle), it will increase the friction between the tire and the ground, which will not only damage the tire itself, but also increase fuel consumption.
