Do bigger tire equal faster acceleration?

Question

if you change nothing but the tires.. is bigger better (in acceleratio)?

Answer 1

A wider tire can help with traction to a certain extent, sometimes a wider tire doesn't mean a faster car, thats up to the engine, if you want some fast tires look for a good tread and traction rating

Answer 2

My big truck tires sure seem to cover the ground faster!  That scenary just flies by!!  But then that could be due to the amount of pressure I put on that skinny little peddal on the floor!!  Accelaration is due to the engine size of the vehicle.

Answer 3

Yes, bigger tires make you go faster,  think about it.  If your axle is still spinning at the same rpms, a bigger tire will cover more ground than a smaller tire.  

Smaller tires are easier to burn rubber with because they are not covering the same amount of ground as a bigger tire would.

bigger tires are faster.  why else would drag racers have them big wide tires on?

Answer 4

the taller the tire, the slower your acceleration, the shorter the tire, the faster, width has no effect unles you have enough power to worry about traction
