bigger not necessarily better,,,,,

especially on our local lauyah roads

id recommend tyres with ~100mm/4" sidewall regardless of tyre size for local use
a balance between comfort/performance

e.g
165/60r13 = 99mm sidewall
195/50r15 = 97.5mm sidewall
205/50r16 = 102.5mm sidewall
225/45r17 = 101.25mm sidewall

those are examples of good comfort+performance tyresize for different type car, not one model one make car,,,,,

e.g
165/60r13 = 99mm sidewall (kcar tyre)
195/50r15 = 97.5mm sidewall (midsize/ b-segment)
205/50r16 = 102.5mm sidewall (c-segment)
225/45r17 = 101.25mm sidewall (performance car
