I had to swap the tyres coz the first set of tyres had been run for about 46K Km and that's pretty gud also a good time to upgrade the rims and put some wider tyres.I had to think for a while between show-off or pure performance and finally picked something that would give me a run for my money.The Stock tyres that came with the car are 165/80 R14,
I have an option of going for (195/60 R15) (205/60 R15)(195/55 R16) (205/55 R16) or (205/45/ R17) (215/45 R17) (225/40 R17).but anything above 16's isn't gonna be comfortable also its gonna drop a bit of power,the steering would get a little more tighter and it would scrape underneath on full load.so 17's seriously a big NO...its only pure show....!
I had to pick between 15's and 16's.there are very few options available in 16's compared to 15's and 17's also I thought it might be better to go with 15's keeping the power on tap.for the tyre brand I had an option of Bridgestone Potenza GIII/Falken ZIEX/Yokohoma S Drive.I got a better deal of on the potenza's so I went for the 195/60R15 GIII's.it was tough for me to pick the wheel design even though I have very few options available in the place I live.
I definitely want something that will define the car.I came across the Lenso kuza anime series and I liked the blade style design,they are different form the regular alloys with spokes.it also has metallic finish and a red shiny lip finish.Its so catchy and different.I had a doubt when I got it but I am totally happy how the car looks.
In Msia we are using 185 60 R15 Potenza RE080.
ReplyDeleteI will keep the rim and change to 195 55 R15 when my tires are worn off...
