Hankook is Korean made but so far no user complain about the tire...
it is more comfortable than PP2 but cornering is not as nice as PP2... hmmm... y everyone think of changing to 17"... with Vios... BTW Vtec_lee, you size is over the 3% rules.... refer to the following chart... 1 is over rules and the other one is ok... Attached thumbnail(s)

well you can refer to the quote attachment...
QUOTE Plus Sizing for me er... not sure about the availability of the size but you can only put 195/55 R15 & 205/45 R16Plus sizing your wheel & tire combination was designed to enhance vehicle performance and looks by allowing fitment of larger diameter rims and lower profile tires. The theory is that while making these changes, you keep the overall tire diameter within 3% of the original equipment tires. This is important because larger variances can cause problems with transmission shift points which can decrease fuel mileage. It can also confuse braking system computers which can even lead to brake failure. Here's the rule of thumb for "plus sizing":   Plus 1:   Increase section width by 10mm   Decrease aspect ratio by 10 points   Increase rim diameter by 1 inch   Plus 2:   Increase section width by 20mm   Decrease aspect ratio by 20 points   Increase rim diameter by 2 inches. This is not exact, but it will usually get you in the right ballpark. We always recommend consulting with the people you are purchasing the wheels and tires from to ensure fitment. this is the most suitable one for you and also available in the market... the 2 sizes that i give you is suitable for your budget... remember if you use more lower profile tires the chances of your Rim get spoiled easily... you also can go for the 205/40 R17 if you want... you only target RM350/tire and for 17" seldom you can get good tires... good tires is important... as life is... tire is like your shoe... if cheap one very slippery if a lot of water... shoes that have better grip always a bit expensive....

Go for 205/45/17, it fits perfectly. 205/40/17 is too small..

But i not understand about chart you provided. Can you please explain more details abt it?? sorry for any inconvenient. Besides, for your opinion...what size of rim i should change or stick with original 14" rim??any idea?? I plan to change 17" because it will make my car look more "chun" haha!! Size over 3% rules is it mean that not suitable to install 17" for vios and it will cause underpower??? the 3% rule is for the speedometer, over 3% wheel size then you will get a wrong reading, while you are driving 60km/h on the speedometer, the actual speed is actually 65km/h, but that's just an example |
