hie guys, need help badly. after changing my rims 16" with 205/45 tires, my fc have increased dramatically.
previously on stock rims n tires, full tank wud go 380km. now its just a measly 280km for a full tank.
just serviced my car last week (normal service). but the tires im using are 3 diff tires. front tires are same, back tires diff. my fren said dat was the problem causing the FC to rise.
so isit the weight of the rim plus the diff tires thats causing this? or my alignment? cos my alignment is abit off.
many thx ahead
hey punk, honestly speaking i had the same wheel specs as you on my myvi 1.3 auto. BUT no noticeable FC increase. My 50 bukss of fuel can last me 350KM full town driving. If i drive or accelerate fast all the time, its around 250 plus KM. If long distance driving will be 400km plus.previously on stock rims n tires, full tank wud go 380km. now its just a measly 280km for a full tank.

And some more, my front tires are inflated 27 psi and rear 26 psi. If i have 30 psi and above i am sure my fc much better.
Yea some of u will say my pressure is kinda too low. Well, on a low profile tire its ok. it does not flatten and flexes like normal tires do due to its stiff side walls. I know it will cause more damage if i hit pothole. well, been driving like this for years. 45 series on a myvi is really stiff.... regretted using it. So no choice but to decrease the psi! hehe...
