Guys, can anyone tell me~
Myvi's tyre normally change to 15" or 16" better?


Another question, my myvi's tyre change to AA01 or AR01 better?

Currently i think change to 205/45/R16 yoko AR01, any suggestion on tis?

15" would be just nice....the car won't be too heavy.

You can still go for 16", try to look for light weight rims... so you won't feel the effect too much.

you know price different for 15" and 16" tyres is alot rite?

15" around RM300
16" around RM400-450

Myvi 15" is more then enough.

both size fit nice,

just make sure ur rim r ori japan

how abt 16 inch?


16 inch tyre 250++ only, where got so exp...

ori rim in jp will be the best i noe, but the rim i choose is taiwan rim, K II if not wrong

Well, if want your FC to suffer, uncomfort ride and want to avoid holes like F1 driver, 16" is the best.

15" where got Rm300?

normal usage only around average rm180 pcs ..

i thought 16" will be more comfort and stable?
FC suffer is for that ppl who lowered the car, rite?

plz correct me if my information wrong coz i jz thinking wan to chg to 15" or 16"

16" u'll be using lower profile tyre..myvi is not a comfortable car..so better use 15"..gives better ride.

Go for 15" light rims + good rubbers. I think its a good combination compared to 16" + inferior rubbers to match.

Myvi needs 18" minimum to look good slammed.

anymore opinion for change my tyre to 16"?

15 is nice enough. Comfort wise, 15 definitely better than 16. Stability comes with how wide the tire is, but the wider the tire, the less FC you'll get.

got la, mine is RM315 a piece.

Toyo 888. O yeah

lolz, u using high class tyre, i am a poor boi =)

no la, just try once in a lifetime only. after this back to normal tyre back

1st of all th 16" tires with RM250 is not that good... the tires that you are saying is entree level only and don be such a cheapo, change to 16" use cheap tires...

sorry to be rude if don hav much budget 15" is nice...

normal usage is RM180 but the grip is so so only... especially wet...
the good tires starts after that...
skip Goodyear NCT5, Yokohama A Drive, Yokohama A Drive R1, Dunlop D-01, Bridgestone MY-01, Conti CC-1, Conti CC-5 and some others... those tires is entree level and will give you so so performance during wet, especially MY-01 it is rated B for traction worst others is A only... has a lot of bad experience on NCT5 so skip that too
Traction is tested for the tires during wet braking, the shorter it does the better rating it is... the rating started from C, then B, so on to A and highest is AA...
try Hankook V12 it is the best value tires so far in the 15" performance range... then others like Michelin PS3, Toyo T1R, Toyo DRB, Goodyear GSD3, Yokohama S Drive, Bridgestone RE001 or Federal 595 Evo will cost you around RM250/tire... these is those traction rated at AA...
then you have comfort premium range, although these tires did not perform up to performance range but still ok la... Yokohama C Drive, Michelin Primacy LC, Bridgestone ER series, Conti CPC series and CSC series...
so up to you to decide... u must put your budget in then choose what you want... Comfort, Handling and Noise... these 3 are the main things on the tires, if helps you to decide which to get...

BTW once you use higher range of tires and get the feel... you will never turn back... it gives you more safety and also the grip you has during wet is totally different from the normal tires...

how abt 16inch with 205/45/16 ???
will tis hit my fender?

it will not hit ur fender if your rims offset is corrent... but as i said... stick to 15" if you are not prepare to pay more than RM250 per tires for a good tire...

205/45R16
Comfort Range -
Yokohama C-Drive (Philippines) - RM245 Hin Leong, Klang (Jun 10)
Yokohama A.Drive R1 - RM230 (Tek Ming Sunway) [trade in old tyre) Nov-10
Dunlop LM701 - RM235 (PJT Pusat Bandar Puchong) Nov-10

Performance Range -
Bridgestone RE001 (Japan) - RM350 Jooi Seng, Klang (Oct 10) - Added 6/10/10
Hankook V12 Evo - RM 300 TMK II (Feb 10)
Toyo T1R - RM355 TMK II (FEB 10)
Hankook Ventus V8RS - RM230 (Tek Ming Sunway) [trade in odl tyre) Nov-10
Hankook Ventus V12 evo - RM250 (Tek Ming Sunway) [trade in old tyre) Nov-10
Yokohama S.Drive (japan) - RM360 (Tek Ming Sunway) [trade in old tyre) Nov-10

the price list is copied from the AutoWorld forum...
from there u can see even decent (for me la...) Hankook V8RS (older model) cost you more than RM250 without trade in... V12 should be around RM280 without trade in...
if you are not prepare to pay for that pls use 15"...
if you use a comfort tire compare with performance tire it will give you different feel... and of course it will slightly improves your car's handling although not much but u can feel it...
used NCT5 (stock), Hankook V12 and now PS3 on the same car (no mod at all)... it's perform different on different tires...

How bout falken 912 ziex?15" can get for rm160/pcs

that is ok ok... on the premium tires range but not as good as performance...
monitor ur tires pressure weekly as feedback said that it's side thread wore off quickly when the pressure is not enough...

but i think i will more prefer to comfort class tyre...
is tat comfort tyre is ok for 16inch?

15 inch ok adi... lowered ur ride height... looks good without sacrificing performance much... use good performance tyre...

16" tires will never be more comfort than 15"...
use 15" la...

15" got wat nice code for it and which tyre better?

195/50/r15... or 195/55/r15...

which type of tyre better?

try Falken 912 for comfort... Hankook V12 although it is in performance series but also not bad...
then C Drive or Dunlop D-01 is ur next choice...

most of the performance tire is not good in comfort...

ur size correct replacement should be 195/50 R15... but 195/55 R15 still can use...

the thing is wit 15" is that it looks puny on myvi, 16" fills it better, although imho 17" looks the best on a myvi.. but then, 15" seems 2 be the best choice 4 a myvi

honestly yes... 16" is a bit over lo... lowered the ride a lil then put in 15" looks nice... even i saw a few maintain 14" but changed rims and lowered the ride... looks nice also...
it is just personal preferences... for me i'll try to maintain my ride on 15" tires...

can u show me ur myvi with 15" tyre a???
let me see see

Added on December 20, 2010, 12:20 pmstill got anyone got comment on 15" or 16" tyre on myvi???
good or bad oso doesnt matter~

Just go outside and find, so many Myvi's running around. If you care so much about comfort, go for 15", and the tyres are cheaper as well. 1" won't make so much of a difference. You can use the money saved to do something about your suspension etc.

because in my mind already wan to buy 16 inch rim and tyre ( yoko 205/45/16 AR01)
but when i enter here i got many comment on 16 inch not tat good...
so i wan to ask more and know more lo...
now i using 14 inch if i chg to 15 inch jz only 1 inch i think will no much difference...

any comment abt tis??
tell me plz i want to noe more

This post has been edited by MyVi Human: Dec 20 2010, 01:17 PM

ish ish

wah... 205/45R16 on a 1.3cc car... respect TS...

i'm using 195/55R15 on City VTEC and it's like fucuk heavy... going back to 185/55R15 in the next change...

YEAH:) Myvi need 17 or 18 to look damn cool

Its not about the size, for me its more about the design. Some small rims can really complement the car, while other "huge" 18" rims messes with the car's balance and image. No offence, but when you look at the Myvi, you will see that the fender distance from the bonnet is quite huge. No matter how big of a rim you use, the car still looks some sort of like a potato. For better effect, I think lowering the car will enhance the sportiness more.

haha, actually i jz want to make my car more balance and feel nice to sit on(especially for passenger)...
actually i drive oso quite ganas...
so it make me quite confuse...

It will still roll around without better suspension....if you want comfort, 15" rim is better cause with 16-17" rims you have to use lower profile tyres. For comfort, why not you invest the extra money for sound proofing or chassis stiffening (autofoam etc).

sound proofing or chassis stiffenin <<< wat is tis???

This post has been edited by MyVi Human: Dec 20 2010, 08:06 PM

hmm, 15 is enough..

i m a vios driver...

i changed to 17" rim...

the ride is no longer comfortable, car is heavy....

and FC increased for >10%...



but it looks great

why say no comfort???
how abt ur driving???
will it be more balance???

Low profile tyre will always sacrifice the comfort feels.
Tyre unable to absorb the shock coz too thin.

any 16inch myvi user here???
give me comment plz

i m using 205/45R17 tyre..

mayb the rim too big, tyre too thin, very sensitive to road condition...
When driving at batu batu road, the whole car vy unstable..

i thought my alignment was run, so i go adjust it...
but after that, still the same, just minor improvement...


Driving at highway is quit stable, even at raining day...

but, still sensitive to road condition... i can feel the road sliding, or bumping inside car...

mayb i still using stock spring....



For FC, increased alot...
previously, 1tank oil i get up to 500km, now <450..

your exp really useful for me~
Thx~
Guys still got exp abt 16inch tyre?

for comfort no 16" and 17" pls... thats all don listen to all the comments and want to do it your way then go ahead...
i'm a Vios with 195/55 R15 and it sucks more fuel similar as 16" also cos i'm on performance tires where the rolling resistance is higher than normal tires... but what i want can be achieve without upsizing the rims and tire, Handling and Traction capability of the tires is very good... of course do not compromise my ride's comfort... i still can corners at the high speeds without problem... so what u need is a good tires which can give you a good amount of traction during dry and wet...

u wan better handling then F**K A Drive... i take another Myvi and install PS3 (195/55 R15) tires on it then it can beat your ride's handling easily coz the tires that you are using not as grippy although 195 vs 205... wider tires does not means more grippy, u need a good tire compound to do it too...

cheers...

Y ppl don understand that better tires will give them improvement on handling and also traction of the cars

oh ic~
still got any comment on 16 inch tyre???

i think u got ur mindset fixed... go ahead and get a set of 16" and experience urself... then you know what is the problem after some time, further more the tires cost you more for 16"... entree level tires same price with my 15" performance tires

because i was thinking tat 15 inch is not much difference with 14 inch so i keep thinking wan to chg to 16 inch...

Later on u will say 16" is not much different from 17"

how abt ur own opinion???
15 inch oso ???

I am using the exact same spec as you listed in the first page.

I can only say the AR01 is rather noisy compared to the Falken ZE512 I had last time. It is made in Phillipine so I think it suits the local road condition.

Depends on the rims you choose the 16-inch combination will add quite a lot of weight to your car so don't expect good fuel consumption. On average I can do about 380km-400km per full tank in all city driving.

If you want the look, go for bigger profile rims and tyres, otherwise 15-inch is just nice. The extra weight will also wears off your suspension faster so I guess it a price you pay for the looks and performance.

I am thinking of downgrading back to 14-inch!

+1

Out of so many post already pointed out what's the difference between 16" and 15" and also tire choice. I put 17 from original 15 on an old merc. The new 17 is actually lighter than the original 15 (technology improvement) but I get bumpier ride, less FC but improved handling. Even mercs with soft suspension also suffer from these kind of transition, how do you think your myvi will fair?

Sorry, might be too harsh on the meaning but, if you're set on 16. Just go for it, no worries.

since u driving 200km/h
y dont try bridgestone potenza RE001 195/50/R15 - rm255 per tire, price from muar
change to adjustable absorber, lower to 2 finger - rm1300~rm2000 depend on brand
mod ur front and rear brake to civic disk brake - <rm1k
ur car will totally look like 16" rim car and not lower ur car performance

i already archive the 1 and 2, currently looking for 3

This post has been edited by cloudwan0: Dec 21 2010, 12:33 PM

45? should be 50 or 55

haha sry, edited

Michelin PS3... cheaper than RE001, perform better in wet and a bit more comfort...
price for 195/50 R15 should be less than RM250... but i think RE001 is also around there...

RE001 is ok but not as good as PS3 in wet... traction rating for RE001 in wet braking is A but PS3 is AA...

Agree with u, PS3 is better in wet,
but come to cornering and dry RE001 is much much better than PS3, experience b4
and the new RE001 got big improve in wet braking
just change it last month

Where can get cheap RE001 for 15" any size? I once asked a shop nearby my house and he quoted me RM 350!!!!!!!

can u show me ur myvi with 15" tyre a???
let me see see
this is myvi with 15''

You got lowered you car???>>>tyre : 195/55/15r

well Myvi is dangerous to do all those higher speed corner... depends on your skill and setup...
Try to install Rear Stabiliser and see, it will improves the handling...

my advice is PS3... even you change to 16" u also cannot do it coz the suspension setup is not made to do these kinda corners... the ride height is too high so the center gravity is high, dangerous on high speed corners...

change one at a time... try 15" wheels and rear stabilizer setup... then you feel the difference... if not satisfy then find lowered springs to lowered ur ride...

Real stabilizer???
how much is it???

Go shops and ask, I had been told by some forummer at autoworld... He did it on his wife's ride much better in handling....

Bro manual or auto ?

engine original ?

thx

auto, and all is original spec~
