Here is a unique Tata Harrier with the biggest wheels ever. According to the information mentioned in the post by Velocity_Tyres, the SUV sports massive 22-inch wheels. Now, upsizing the wheels and tyres is becoming increasingly popular these days. The prime reason why people go for bigger wheels is to enhance the aesthetics. People prefer their SUVs big and their tyres bigger. Bigger wheels or alloys bolden the road presence of a car significantly. One of the reasons why people buy an SUV in the first place is to establish a road presence. Having custom alloys contribute a ton. Here are the details of this modified installation on the Harrier.

Tata Harrier With The Biggest Wheels
The images show the size of these wheels in real life. The alloys are a 5-spoke design that looks neat and not too flashy. It complements really well with this black paint shade of the SUV. By the looks of it, these 22-inch wheels are wrapped in low-profile tyres. These are quite uncharacteristic of what a normal SUV would wear. These low profile tyres enhance the traction and handling of any car. The downside is the compromise on ride quality. Low profile tyres deteriorate the ride comfort of the passengers because there is less rubber on the sidewalls of the tyres. Hence, the bump absorption capacity of a vehicle is reduced. Since SUVs are naturally designed for off-road usage, they have high profile tyres. The tyres on this Harrier are wide and can be seen extending out of the body.
