anyone changed their stock Vios E's 175/65R14 to 205/45R16? overall height should be almost the same... but will it loose a lot of pickup?
15" and 16" tyre prices a lot of difference? now sure if it's worth the upgrade or not... or maybe just stick back to 14" or upgrade to 15"... |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Feb 2 2011, 04:27 PM) kenji1903@ thanks for your reply... i am thinking of the Satria Neo 16" Advanti R3 rims, damn nice... but tyres are a lot more expensive... maybe not worth the investment... also it's definitely heavier than 14"/15"you need to calculate the big increased in tire and wheels weight / width as well. 205/45/16 tire is usually around 9.5kg/ea + 6.5kg/ea for lightweight 16" rims, also, 175 and 205 width is quite a lot. there will be a compromise in steering feel, braking capability, speedometer reading, acceleration and fc. perhaps, you should consider 195/50 or 55/15. bonus; 15" tire is slightly cheaper too. michelin ps3 of 195/55/15 is around 250 while 205/45/16 is around 430. xphossis@ you mean the newer conti comfort contact 5? i still put my money on primacy lc. beside being quieter, less flexing during a slightly spirited driving. but it cost more thou.  i'm using Premacy LC 195/55R15 on my City VTEC what 15" light weight rims do you recommend? |
