Thanks Buydirect

You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

Sorry if this question has been asked before.. I have been driving my forte for almost 2 yrs.. all this while, I found the car is not that comfort compare to even persona n preve..
The ride is a bit bouncy and stiff when goin thru uneven road... Been asking around in tyre section.. anyone has change their tyre from 215/45/r17 to 224/45/r17? I don't mind the higher price for the tyre as long the comfort level can be improved..
Thanks.

go for 16' with higher profile tire with ratio of 55

cant do that for now.. I just change to a set of 17' rim few months bck..
3 of my ori rim got dented and the tyre shop told me forte ori rim is prune to this..

can opt for Michelin pilot sport 3, around rm450 per piece for 215/45r17

another used forte on sales

You are right the car is running just fine except the gauge is showing empty, Low Fuel message comes up everytime starting the car, and it doesn't change after filling up to full. I have a lot of doubt in the guys in Puchong branch, will send it to the Kinrara one for another check before deciding to replace anything. Have driven over 200km since it happened last Sunday, thanks for pointing out the doubtful sides.

Thanks, totally makes sense. Will get some 2nd opinions.

Sell the rim. If it is still in nice condition, I believe there will be buyers. Tires are exposed anyway. I can take as long as no scratches and if I like the design. Dam...poison again ah?

Drive any 17" with low profile tire hv to rajin rajin avoid holes. Look at Passat. That poor guy is no where luckier too. Good luck to Mazda 6 highest spec with 19" rim. Will not have luxury like camry which can go through holes and mines like their fader owns a tire shop.

I added cushion buffer on all 4 springs. Helps on small holes. Big ones can't save you. Open your eyes wide and be alert.

Yeah... Agree with this, Preve & Persona 16" rim.

currently using conti MC5..

eiks... no better way like using 225/45/r17 tyre?

I believe that the bumpiness is because of the low profile. The less rubber height means less cushion for the car.

What is your review on this tire?
