Car specialist speaks on pimping a car

Briefly News spoke with Ajay Sewdas, an ex-Audi car diagnosis technician and Mechanic company owner, who detailed the process of upgrading tyres.

"Normally, on the side of the vehicle, you have a sticker that tells you the size of the tyres that you can go up to. On a Polo, you can go up to 18 inches, sometimes 19 inches, depending on the vehicle."

"The benefit is that the tyres give you more stability. When you lower a vehicle, it gives you better handling as well. "

"You get guys that do it the right way and the wrong way, but generally, bigger wheels don't necessarily put too much strain on the car unless you go insanely big and heavy."

The car expert listed the following issues that may arise if the tyres are too big or heavy for the car.

"There might be damage to the suspension, drive shelves, drive chain, and so on; other than that, doing a car within reason doesn't really affect the car that much."

Social media users speak for the car

After seeing the post, social media users quickly shared their thoughts on the comment section, filling it with funny comments to defend the car from its owner's mistakes and his attempt to pimp it.
