anzen600@
14" has quite limited option. if you're looking for other option beside continental, falken 912 worth looking at too. if am not mistaken, minimum
size available was 185/60/r14.
Azuma-kun@
was ze522. there is no 922.
both falls into slightly different category. ziex 912 was into high performance category while 512 falls to performance category.
based on experience, i'll choose the 912 anytime. a quieter and slightly composed ride compare to 512. stay away from indonesian made falken thou.

krk24@
205/50/r16 is fine but there will be a slight compromise in ride comfort due to lower profile but this can be corrected by choosing a softer sidewall tire
( some sacrifice in handling ) like yokohama a.drive,  primacy or falken 912.

u mean by performance by tire or ur engine? ?
btw ur car is only 1.6 so biggest size u can use is 205/50-16~
205/55-16 is for 1.8 n above~
even toyota altis also use 195/55-16 n converted is 205/50-16
refer to my reply  for  krk24~

i meant performance of the tire....i want it to be good grip in wet & dry condition...and most importantly last longer...so hard tires are best right?

sorry to let u know tat tis tires ain't cheap~
if u can't afford it then u should not have upgrade it to 16" if u wan to have good grip in both n it'll cost u at least rm400 per piece~
now tat u already upgrade it so no choise to stay wit it~
everyday i'm in tire line n see those customer change tires n in d end keep on complaint no good no good n bad fc is becuz they like to change oversize tire n y like tat? ? cuz 205/55-16 is cheap due to it's common size tires~
n btw oversize tires not only will effect touching mudgueard n it also effect or ur speedo meter+odo meter which is over lap n over speed~
n 1 more thing i almost forget~
ovesize tize will also effect on bad fc~

lain cakap kalau kereta untuk for show cars so size+fc  is not a matter for them~    laugh.gif  laugh.gif

good points...actually if price below rm300 still ok for me...currently i'm on falken....i also made mistake before changing rims doesnt knew about tire prices due to my 1st time owned a car....NOW i knew about cars abit....on tires, rims, absorber, springs, etc ..i take it as a learning process...so the next time i will be more wise in choosing stuffs...i knew tires liked sime are very cheap for my range of tyre profile..but heard so many ppl said its not that good overall...
