Hi guys,

I'm getting the new vios 2013, J spec...

planning to change rim to 16... As i know if 17 the tyre will be more expensive

May i know what tyre profile fit the best in look & comfort ?

Most of the time i will be driving alone but sometimes will be fetching 3-4 pax...

Btw, i do not plan to change my spring or anything to lower the car...

Hope some sifu here can give some advice.

Thanks

Do you mean the latest Vios which just launched?
Actually rims and tyre price for 16 and 17 is very close, just add about 200 and you get 17 inch.. But performance wise, 16 is just nice, 17 is good in cornering but the car is a lot heavier.. I'm currently using 16 light weight, '11 facelift version, regretted because rim not big enough XD will upgrade to 17 in future..
You can choose not to lowered your car, but your car will be a lot higher after changing to either 16 or 17, most people get adjustable, when driving for vacations you can higher up your rear suspension so your car will be balanced after adding weight..

Thanks for your reply...

Been reading lowyat forum up & down...

Still thinking which brand for rim & tyre should i take...

17 Rim: Lenso, Advan, or any other brand??? I'm looking for Original with mid rang if with lightweight will be a Bonus

17 tyre: Mid range price & brand... any recommend???

Conclusion: Everything in Mid Range... I'm not a racer... Just wan safety & sometime up down genting with safety

Thank you guys

any 17 rim will do lah, just look for the design you want.. original aren't cheap at all through..
tyre, get Michelin PS3, NEVER Falken! Or you can go for Goodyear F1, Continental MC5 (which best, you should know, but which has mid range, I'm not sure)
Today was raining in the morning, when my car enters into another floor type which is similar to parking type of floor (semen floor with those annoying grip sound when you turn) and its wet, and I pedal hard, my wheels are spinning on the ground but my car is NOT moving at all, I was shocked shocking.gif DANGEROUS shakehead.gif  my tyre is Falken ZE-522 205/45/R16..

Thanks for your advice...

I planning to choose original because i hear is not so easy to get dental

Now i got ideal for tyre will be Michelin PS3, Goodyear F1 & Continental MC5...

Thank You...

Once they start booking i already booked without testing nor any testing available

As i know the engine & gear box is using the same old type...

I bet the suspension will be the same...

I'm not to side any brand...

From my opinion,
- Honda good handling & power but not so comfort
- Toyota comfort but not so good on handling & power

I will take note if the noise level if really high...

15= i get comfort but not so sporting look but within budget to get Better Tyre

17= Sporty look, power lost, not so comfortable, Tyre expensive so can't get better Tyre...

You can look for designs in his photos before you goo through..
But if you are about to take 17, your tyre is extremely low profile, else you will hit your fender when you do turning..
I'm not familiar with Rawang too! I just use Drive+ from my Nokia phone to that address and found them biggrin.gif they are just around the corner of the bus stop there..

Thanks for the link...

i think is normal for alarm went off if you park your car outdoor with heavy rain plus storm...

mine went off once when heavy rain + lighting.

I'm facing the same problem as yours...

This friday will be my 1k service. I will ask the them is it normal or only is mine.

the sound is like water dropping on hollow metal root.

BTW, can i know what is ur spec???

Because mine is J spec so maybe they did not add on some sound proof at the root

because of the catamaran roof? according to Toyota, new Vios's catamaran roof is made from lightweight material for a lower center of gravity
*
Even with lightweight material, i'm sure they notice the dipping sound when raining.

The sound is too loud that cant be acceptable.

If i got sound check device, i'm sure i will record it down & post it to them.
