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.

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..

currently using conti MC5..

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

thts y wanna know whether anyone is using 225/45/r17 and how's the comfort level for it..
the sidewall height for 225/45/r17 is taller compare to 215/45/r17

cant comment much on the conti MC5 coz I feel the comfort level is not there.. but it's much better compare to my ori tyre, IINM silverstone..

yup.. this is what I been thinkin too.. the diff is too little..
but it looks a bit weird if putting in 205/55/R16.. guess it's either comfort or looks for the rim+tyre..
never tested others car with 215/45/r17.. wonder whether it will feel the same like forte or nt..
maybe the suspension setup also play a part on the comfort level..

oh well, will stay with current setup for now till time to change it.. need to change tyre almost once every 1.5 yrs due to the daily travelling..

side track a bit.. whenever i release the accelerator, I'll feel that my car momentum is still moving very fast ahead..
something like the accelerator is still being pressed and the speed will decrease very slowly.. most of the time, I need to press the brake from a far..
I ask the question to the SC and they said it's normal.. something to do with drive by wire for the acceleration.. I can't really comprehend on this..
is this something normal?

Hi izputra/lingleeyen,
Thanks for the response on this.. Still not used to this and always do hard breaking..
since it's normal, guess I've to get used to it..

sorry for keep on asking.. anyone here driving 2.0 and change their rim n tyre to 205/55R16? how's the comfort level? isit much better compare to 215/45r17?
thank you very much in advance..

1.6sx and 2.0sx is using 215/45r17 tyre while 1.6ex using 205/55r16..
due to the different sidewall height, the comfort level is diff..
theoretically, 205/55r16 should be more comfortable compare to 215/45r17..

why contact izputra???

thanks bro.. might hv miss out earlier comments or absent minded..

wow.. u all still able to snap photo while driving..
anyone from Penang?

my current rim n tyre...

I'm currently using Raiden Project D-Spec E..
Any idea how to check whether it's ori or imitation?
I cant remember the exact price for the rim, shld be around 1.7k...

a bit regret not getting 16" when I change my rims..
oh well.. just suck it up.. maybe it's time to change new car..
wakakakakaa...

lol.. if possible, my next car shld be european (praying hard so I can afford it)..
as for now.. i'm happy with my forte.. it shall serve me faithfully for another few yrs..
