planing to get a forte, just wondering 16 or 17 inch will better?
see from the website
low spec use 205 55 R 16"
full spec 215 45 R 17"
i prefer driving comfort , is it go for 16 inch better?
215 45 R 17" the rim will easy get "bengkak" if i always drive to industrial area? coz industrial area road is no good, many hole.
and which size tyre will cheaper?
need u adviese
thanks

Definitely use thicker tire if you want comfort, which means the 16 will be much better.
The 16 will also be cheaper.

grab the full spec forte, then change the rims and tire to ur own choice...

it not the tire which differ the full spec and low spec..the safety feature is the main consent.

Better depends on ur perspective.

For looks, bigger wheel= hansum look, less comfy, higher tyre price ..

For convenience, smaller wheel = still hansum look, comfy, less tyre price ..

My 2 cents.. biggrin.gif

Looking at our road's conditions which is getting suckier day after day, just use 16 la..u will feel less butthurt when ur rims bang the potholes...hahha~ laugh.gif

it's ok. the ride is not harsh at all even it's on 17 inch rubber. that's because the Forte stock suspension are very soft. too soft for me biggrin.gif
