Not really like that.
My tyres are 235mm. Normal cars is about 165mm. Mine already 50% wider than normal tyres.
Difference is a lot, especially cornering. I can drive close to double of speed limit on highway exits turn(like damansara). Let's say 50kmh speed limit, I can go 90kmh even 100 without skidding in dry conditions.
Why wide tyres matters ?? Like our weather have heavy rainfall and easily cause aquaplaning.
If drive normal car if hit water puddle on right side, will feel steering pulling to right. But with wide tyres and ESC, the car won't run. Can drive with one hand.
I've tested many times to trigger skid, but the ESC light never came out (maybe haven't push hard enough but already double of speed limit during corner d)
Actually I felt that a lot of ppl don't know the limits of their car. That makes them dangerous.
Like some SUV turn turtle, or some car don't have ESC skid into drain in corner......
Wrong. Wider tyre in wet conditions more likely to aquaplane.
A narrower tyre will cut through faster because of the profile and greater weight on the contact area.
A wider tyre only gives you a covering advantage and better stability in the dry.
About skidding, are you sure you're doing it right?
