Is dat de reden, ja? Want als ik AI mag geloven zijn er nogal wat compromissen die gesloten moeten worden om je velgen te beschermen tegen beschadigingen, die paar keer dat je sneeuwkettingen nodig hebt (het zal allemaal niet zo extreem zijn als in het onderstaande AI overzicht wordt aangegeven, maar zoals gezegd ben ik op zoek naar 'de beste optie' voor mijn winterbanden).
Wat AI te vertellen heeft:
Altered Tire Profile: The tire's sidewalls will be pinched inward, causing the tread to have an excessively rounded or "ballooned" profile instead of the intended flat contact patch with the road.
Reduced Contact Patch and Grip: The rounded tread profile reduces the amount of tire surface area in contact with the road, leading to less traction, especially during braking and cornering, which is a major safety concern.
Poor Handling and Stability: The increased sidewall flexibility from being pinched makes the tire less supportive, resulting in "sloppy" or unpredictable handling, reduced steering response, and instability, particularly at high speeds or during sudden maneuvers.
Irregular Wear: The altered shape can cause the tire to wear out unevenly and prematurely.
Incorrect Load Capacity: The tire's load-carrying capacity may be compromised because it is not being used as intended by the manufacturer.
