Question

Which is better generally, small or large tires for a passenger car?

Answer 1

Neither the large or small tires,  I  do  recommend  the  size  been  instructed  by  the  manufacturer.

Generally  large  tires  are  better ,  as  it  helps  a  lot  during  using  brakes, but  it  let  the  engine  consume more  fuel.

Answer 2

never go smaller and never go much bigger than one size taller and or one size wider... any thing else will cause more problems

Answer 3

Keeping the same size it originally came with is best. When you say "large or small" are you referring to width or diameter? If you put on smaller diameter you will get worse mileage and they will wear out faster because they make more revolutions to travel the same distance as a larger tire would.

Answer 4

Wider tires = more traction

Smaller tire = better mpg

Good Luck....

Answer 5

Whatever the manufacturer recommends is better, because that is what the car/suspension was designed for.
