currently my persona is on 205/55/R16 but whenever 5 ppl is accommodate in the car...the tyre hit the bar...especially riding on bumpy road...

My concern is the next time i change my tyres after it worn i would go for thinner tyres 205/50/R16 or 205/45/R16

any help?

205/50-16 is d size~

Guys wanna ask which brand and model of 215/45/r17 is better? and whats the price?

dun use sime tyres !!!
the tyres thread design look very good and deep, but its like shit when raining.
bro, ur life worth more then rm 140 leh.

Well that is an odd ize... try 195/55 R15...
i think you can find most of the price at this forum...
BTW Primacy for that size only selling at RM200 at Ban Hooi Klang...

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

It shows there good fit... although it's diameter is a bit smaller... Diameter Difference: -1.27%
well you can try 195/60 R15 also as the diameter is a bit bigger... Diameter Difference: +1.95%



I'm using the 1st generation of Vios... different... back if not mistaken 1~2 PSI lesser...


it depends on which tyres... NCT5 sucks... others i duno...
as i use Michelin from Day 1 when i start my driving...
the Vios come as stock... did not use very frequently... but i have a few cases which it activates my ABS easily...
especially going down slope when raining...

how you know ABS kick-in? brake pedal vibrate right?

losing grip while going down slop in wet is pretty normal, especially light car like vios, unless you're using sport tyres, did i mentioned semi-slick?

i drive slow ma
so its ok

well you can hear a sound... like when you try to shift without pressing on the cluth pedal in manual model...
not tat loud... but can hear... NCT5 that time i was using...
after change to PP2... no such problem... even in car park with Cement floor also... very very seldom ABS will get activated...
Sorry it is not normal..... if your tyre is good no problem... don tell me that go down the slope this will happen...
ask those tyre expert... this will not happen if the tyre you bought have good grip...

Try to go to www.tirerack.com read more on the tire review...


@kcng,

No that is not the speed... when you brake... which is makes your car stop faster???
you must have a good braking system... then i ask you... what is the contact between your car with the road???
TYRES!!!! this is the shoe... if you are wearing cheap shoes you lose grip very fast...
what if you buy a better shoe... of course it will improve...
of course this will repay you with more $$ you need to spend on the tires...

on Michelin PP2 i never have problem during cars and dogs raining condition... i drive 110~130 km/h on highway during that time also...
Remember... cheap things never come good... good things never come cheap!!!

Maybe you can try using 16x6.5 for your sport rims instead, might be a bit harder to find but it's a better fit. 16x7 and 205/55R16 wif too big an offset(meaning smaller digits) will make the tyres hit your fender.

You can opt for 205/50R16 as well but it's a "rarer" size in terms of Malaysian tyre sales and *might* cost significantly more.



Hm... I've heard cases of guys on stock suspension Vios hitting the inside of the fenders on full lock wif 195/55R15 but couldn't really confirm as I don't know their rim spec

i duno... i'm using the old Vios...
nothing happen 1.5 years already...

NCT5 is really sucky lar, then i drive on highway from KL to ipoh (PLUS highway), can feel the crosswind also, when rain that time is really like drifting


195/55R15 hitting fender sounds impossible, could be his/her suspension faulty already? coz i heard if the suspension faulty it will have the symptoms of lowered.

stock vios suspension can take 15" no problem, if 17 or 16 then hard to say lar.

205/45/16
but why sime? i thought you need a tyre with reinforced sidewall?

p/s: guys, any feedback on bridgestone re001 or barum bravia? or recommend me a nice directional thread tyres(195/55/r15).
thanks

Hmmm....those who have info on tyres list..Please share more info on prices as the 205 and above does not have much choices and also updated price list.

Hitting fender can be a few reasons, and also there's hitting inside and also hitting outside, what i'm refering to is more like rubbing on the inside when turning full lock(for example, u-turn), which is why I have no ideas if the person used the stock wheels, or aftermarket wheels, I would say aftermarket wheels wouldn't cause a problem as most of the time it's wider and also bigger offset, probably he was running the stock Type-G/S wheels which are very narrow and have a small offset.



Barum Bravuris seemed to be discontinued, have been trying hard to find them but to no avail, what's the budget for 195/55R15?

I did not face this problem with 195/55 R15 PP2 with my 1st Gen Vios 1.5G...
actually i think maybe after market rim may cause that problem also... depends the offset lo...
if he bought a rim with nicely fitting should not be problem...
I saw a lot of ppl using 16" or 17" rim also they do not have complain...

to whom may concerns you may ask the users in the Vios forum...

you can try Hankook V12 195/55/r15... a lot of good review...
should not be more than RM200... Michelin PP2 will cost RM230 cheapest and not directional tyres...
good dry and wet handling with reasonable price...
