Q: Do I need to replace my tires when upgrading wheels?

It depends on the size and type of wheels you’re upgrading to. If you’re changing the wheel diameter or width, you may need new tires that are compatible with the new size. You should maintain the overall diameter of the wheel and tire combination to avoid issues with speedometer accuracy, handling, and ride quality.
