P/S - My tyres going to worn out soon. Kindly advice what tyres suit me best. (of course best of bucks)

1) 195 55 15
2) 195 60 15
3) 185 55 15 (Current dimension)
*
1) i will take this size cause not too thin or thick
but the speedo meter will not be accurate when u running on this tire size

2) too thick but comfortable and speedo meter remain the same.

3) which spec of vios r u using? as i know, if vios stock tire is 185 60 15.

195 50 15, speedo remain the same with size.

this info, i get from a tire mech

Im using Vios made in 2007 ( Not the new model for 2007)

Kindly explain further why speedometer wont be that accurate if using No 1 tyre selection. Isnt it based on moving object for capturing the the speed.

Thanks for valueble advice

there is tire calculation whether the speedo meter will be accurate or not.
u r using a wider tire hence the tire grip more on floor then speedo will show slower but the tire series do play some role.

im not sure whether my explanation correct or not... if im wrong, please correct me.

i just booked my vios(J spec) yesterday, just now got a called from maybank to get my details, hope can get approve as soon as possible!

by the way, if changing sport rims will void the warranty, is it mean changing the cd player or add the fog light will void warranty too?

Yup u r right.
I tried to dismantle air-cond compartment to see which area exposed to outside air, and found out the the air flap foam not really works properly. I used tape to fully cover the air intake hole from the wiper area. ( Dismantle wiper & the rubber surface, u can see air intake hole ). But currently faulty smell still entering inside car.

Any other suggestion ??

Thanks

well not sure u need to patch things from inside or not too...

for the tires... try 195/55 R15.... if not 195/50 R15 is the best choice but 195/55 R15 is more comfort...
195/60 is over size... what do you expect from your tires??? Comfort, Handling and Noise...

Michelin PS3 (RM250~280) is low noise, good handling. good wet & dry traction but the comfort is acceptable...
Bridgestone RE001 (RM250~280) is low noise, good handling, good wet & dry traction but comfort is so so...
Hankook V12 Evo (RM200~220) is good comfort, good handling, good wet & dry traction but noise is slightly noisy...

there is some others tires too, let us know what you expect on Handling, Comfort or Noise so that we can give you more accurate recommendation...
