Another simple question.

The wheels on our Panamera Turbo are 21 inches. My husband came home from work yesterday.

Why did you put 21-inch wheels on our Panamera Turbo?"

I asked him casually, and that's when the 30-minute lecture by my husband began, because I know almost nothing about the basic structure of a car.Different size wheels = different size tires."I was surprised to learn that the outer diameter of the tire does not change.

I said, "Well, if you compare a 19-inch tire to a 21-inch tire, the 21-inch tire is obviously larger and makes your legs look longer! I said.

It's an optical illusion. If they changed the size of the tires, they would have to change everything, even the speedometer. That can't be true.

I was treated as if I were a "good person". Well...you're right...if I think about it calmly, you're right.

I said, "I didn't realize you thought of all that when you were specifying in the configurator." I said.

That's right. I chose the best specifications based on the vast amount of information I had in my head. (I was able to choose the best specifications based on the vast amount of information I had in my head.
