hi guys,
got a noob question.

My tyres now are 195,
do i need to change the rims, if i wanna change to 215 tyre?

tat depends on wat JJ ur rim is. if ur rims is 6JJ; yes u need to change ur rims. if not the tires will be sticking out alot

if ur rims is roughly 6.5-7jj, u might still be able to fit it in.

i m on 6.5JJ; 205 tires. the tires sticks out tiny bit.

how to see the "JJ"?
and what does that mean? @@

wat is your car??? Ori Rim now??? the size??? 195/55 R15??? or 195/60 R16??? or 195/50 R15???
why change to 215 width??? give us mire details...
like wat problem do you face now....

cheers...

2003 Hyundai Elantra 1.8GLS
Yes stock rims..
Tyres now is 195/60R15.
Want to change tyre width, more stable.
Do you think the car will be underpowered?

what is the Ori tire size??? we ned to know that...
if you wanna change to bigger size liek the 215 width that you said...
you need to change to at least 16"
the width will make the car more stable... but the tire condition and also quality is also important...
just like the GY NCT5 which normal user said ok...
but do you know that a lot ppl know that it sucks???
i have my ABS activated most of the time when the rain just started and when i'm driving down hill...
do not think wider tire will give you more grip if you wanna but cheap cheap cheap tires...

will be slightly underpower and higher fuel consumption, but you get a more stable ride in exchange..

anti NCT5 fan club, anyone?

Hi, can recommend any good tyres size, 205/45/16 for my satria gti? Budget is around RM 1K.

not that call anti... if you really tried with b4 compare to others it really sucks... left 30~40% the performance drop a lot...
i remember some one in AW forum said... in terms of grip... the forummer said...
GY NCT5 is 40% < Hankook V12 40% < Michelin PP2
he tried all 3 before... yes PP2 is a bit expensive but worth the $$$... used 2 set of PP2 on my Vios after the stock NCT5 tires...


@superdeemon,
you can try Hankook V12 as that is the most famous tire in AW forum...
cheaper than PP2... for 195/55 R15 Hankook is only at RM175 while PP2 is at RM230 in Klang...

Hi michael9413,

Thanks for the feedback. Wow, PP2 price has a big gap difference in price between kl and klang. Do you have the klang shop contact no. that I can go for?

Thanks again

you can refer to the 1st page of this thread...
you can try Ban Hooi, Hin Leong, Hock Li, Jooi Seng...
Ban Hooi, Hock Li and Hin Leong is at the Jalan Kapar

Ban Hooi 03-3342 3146
Hock Li 03-3348 8539

the price gap for my size is RM20~40 per tyre i think...
you can ask around and see... some of them even RM50 apart...

215/60R16, i would like to know the price for Bridgestone tyres for this spec??anybody can help?

i just changed to Hankook V12... feel more comfort... raining a little during driving around...
still pretty new... grip ok la... haven try hard corner yet...
then grip also not bad but feel a bit slow when i slightly press my brake pedal... maybe it is more towards comfort...
have to season it until 500km then give it some test...

BTW... 1 of the AW forummer give me this...
read it yourself as the Opel Corsa team give 11 tires a test...

hard corner is the best way to test the tyres cornering ability, go test it
