Can I change my vehicle's tyre size?

Whilst it is possible to change the size of the tyres that are installed on your vehicle, you should be careful as it could have a negative impact on your vehicle:
 

1. Smaller diameter outside due to smaller tyre or rim size.

- Load capability issues 

- Issues with gear settings or the speedometer

- Higher levels of fuel consumption

 

2. Bigger diameter outside due to bigger tyre or rim size.

- Impacting the wheel arch when steering 

- Heavier steering

- Issues to gear settings or the speedometer

The industry recommends that if you do change the size of your tyres, it is by no more than 1% from the original tyre size. 

If you still wish to change the size of your tyres, please contact the blackcircles.co.za customer service team and we will help you purchase the right tyres for your vehicle.
