The way your tire fits your wheel can have a bigger impact on handling than you might think.

In this video, KONIG breaks down how different tire sidewall setups affect the way your car drives — from a meaty sidewall, to a more square/flatter sidewall, to a stretched tire. We look at how each setup can change steering response, sidewall flex, grip, handling characteristics, and overall feel behind the wheel.

Whether you’re building a street car, setting up a track car, or simply trying to dial in the right wheel and tire combination, understanding how your tire’s sidewall interacts with the wheel is an important part of getting the performance you’re looking for.

Your tire isn’t just there to make contact with the road — how it fits the wheel can change the way your car feels.
