hi, urgent need info..

I'm B line, today when i went to do on wheel balancing.. realized my front left tyre has been eating inside very terrible, and has a vulnerable... scar hole..

(i have noticed my front left tyre has air leaking recently... now i know it is due to this deep scar, 2 2weeks drop 60 psi while the right still at 210psi)

the shop tell me, it would explode/bocor anytime.. just don't know when.

i'm actually thinking of chaging rim in future(might or might not), shud i chg to 195/60/r15 (same stock size), or 195/55/r15. any different?

any b liners, has changed to 195/55/r15 tayar? confort ok? anything significant?

ph34r.gif Ur car tyre PSI so high wan ka? ph34r.gif

It's best to check ur tyres every now and then, u wont know how bad is ur alignment/balancing/chamber settings until u actually check it..

Changing rim or not does affect ur tyre size, but not only the thickness part..

195(this is the width of the tyre)/60(percentage of width = to height, e.g; 60% of 195)/R15(radius of the rim).

So what size u wanna change to? If u wanna stick back with 15 inch rims, I suggest u go back to 195/60/15.. That's the best u can have for PE in terms of comfort.. Changing to 195/55 may make ur wheels appear to be smaller and ur ride height shorter..

sorry.. it is 210psi instead.. normally tyre wall is like this ) shape.. but mine already become |_ shape.

Yes i did, everything yesterday,, alignment, balancing, and chamber settings. except tyre change.

Why i tot of using 195/55/15 because I plan to change tyre to michelin ps3.

The shop offer me, michelin xm2 (195/60/15), rm260 each.

I won't advice using 195/55r15 for pe. Its more than the 3% diameter diff. Might seriously affect your ecu and braking system.

ECU not so. But braking yes. Gearing yes. ODO reading, yes.

ic ic, so those PE changed changed sport rim and changed to michelin ps3, their braking, gearing and ODO reading all affected lo despite gain grip and performance?

Anyway, I just changed 2 front tyres only, michelin XM2 195/60/15, RM280 each at Kuantan.

Then on the way back KL, noise level is low, and cornering grip at karak highway is good smile.gif
