Yesterday just back from Bridgestone tyre shop. Look at RE002, the sidewall is harder than PS3. Understood, it's performance tyre.
My sister drive vios G using RE080, i am quite accepateble that level of noise.

but not sure about RE002. any comment?

you try PS3... it slices thru water puddles like it's not there, have it on my City

same grippy feeling in both dry and wet

Fully agreed with ur statement above....today am just change C drive2 195/55/15 + lighter sport rim, i can feel the 'big' different after the changes....

Ya....after kena poison kaw kaw from the shop...but actuali after they fix the 195/55/15 on stock rim, it's look cacat abit & not 'handsome' then the tauke oso say stock rim is much more heavier which they let me  lift up between stock & aftermarket rim...well, there was difference in term of pick up, handling & stability...

Finally my new vios car in my hands. After take the car, straight away go to michelin shop change rim and tyre.
Put on a chrome rim and PS3 196/55/15 tyre.

Handling and cornering is superb 

But i noticed a little noise inside the car, sounds like "wo... wo... wo..". Seems like cause by the tyre.. It's normal???
I even sit behind and asked my sister to drive and the same sound also..
I experienced this before at my old proton car, the bearing issue but make no sense because this is a new car woh..

can someone advice?

the original tyres for Vios G spec (Bridgestone Potenza) is not the REXXX series right?

if we change rims from stock to aftermarket rims, will there be any impact to the speedometer? the km/h will it be not accurate?

G spec is RE080

not sure but i'm using 185/55R15 on my City, maybe you can check the website or call the tyre dealers?

as long as the tyres (+rims) changed is within 3% of the original size, then it won't affect the Speedometer

bro, 280 x 4 (PS3) + 1150 (rims) - 540 (t/in) = 1730.

so, the noise is normal?

what are your stock rims?
15 inches... can't remember the brand... but is a chrome rim.. shining a day and night 
handling improved a lot? tried whacking corner with the stock before changing? big difference?
yup, can feel the gripping and cornering more steady. i always drive my sis vios g.. so i can feel different..

the sound you heard, is it constantly heard? or only on certain roads?
sound constantly but only on certain surface of the roads.. i think if the road is straight and even, the sounds is obvious... how about yours?

your Vios what model?
post photos of your new rims la bro

mine the same, wo..... wo..... wo..... a few times, not that long... then after that will be like harrggghhhhhh.....

maybe its the tyre + road surface

but if constantly got that sound for long period, better go to the SC, fetch the mechanic and let him hear the sound

which rims you took? can share share?

how heavy are the stock rims by the way? yours is the 12 spoke G spec rims?

Em... I'm not sure bro...but definitely is heavier than my current rim, ya is the 12 spoke G spec rims...below is my humble rim...
