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.

Yup for the chamber adjustment. Is it recommended to change that nut ??
Its cost around 100.00++ per piece a side both side will cost 200.00++
*
for a normal person or normal ride, u dont need to add it... unless u r racing type which prefer to have better handling then go for it.
if a normal car havent accident before, u dont need to as original chamber setting wont go off easily.

i get what u meant, haha..
anyway, i will give him high point,
and as what he said,
i will get discount voucher after i submit the form,
is it true?
i heard some owner here,
they got 2.6-2.75% interest from their bank,
and he said my interest will lower than 2.8% after approve,
that's y i asked the question here.  smile.gif
*
ok... first of all. different loan amount have different rate.
i have the calculation format.
if u borrow 55000, i can give u 2.7%for 7 years
but for 45000, it is hard to get 2.7%
the more money u borrow, the lower the rate or maybe the longer the tenure

why get ps3? ps3 is one of the performance tire. it built with hard tire wall and also good for anti hydroplanning. this tire perform better during raining day as it is also built to cut through water.

as for xm1, it is much softer compare to ps3. xm1, is for comfort ride only. dont expect much for handling unless u prefer handing during comfort ride. if u want handling performance to attack corner, get ps3

potenze re080, sucks.. damn noisy. all my house toyota car is on michelin tires. only this vios still on stock tire.

as for tire size, the higher the profile, it get more comfortable.

for premacy LC, it is a quiet tire but wear tear too fast.

Sry, NVH as in Noise, Vibration and Harshness. It means sound insulation of the car.

Bottom line is, a lot of noise is generated from the tires and the NCT 5s are notorious for being noisy and uncomfortable.

my dad paid for it.. i cant say anything. btw, my sis ride.
currently tireshop ppl said the car rear wheel bearing making noise d
anyone encounter this problem?
