My Myvi having stock rim now and I wish to change a new sport rim for better grip and stabilization. My car is Myvi SE 1st Gen. A piece of advise needed. Thanks

Just take PS3 price, 205/45/16 is almost double of 195/55/15. 205/45/16 is consider the odd size, not everyshop carry it and you will have limited choice to choose, while 195/55/15 is very common.

My vios with ori rim 14 inch 185 can run to 460km per full tank.

i personally tried 195/55/15 and 195/50/15
i felt 50s is better as im lowered my ride. you may try to pair it with yokohama s drive as i heard its good enough
P.S: i using hankook ventus v12 195/50/15 naw

55 & 50 is alot different. i give you example.

profile 55 : after changed rims and tyre your car height will be raised slightly and when you driving your body roll will increase and the feel is like... ermm.. a "mini suv"

profile 50 : after changed rims and tyre your car height will be almost the same and the rims + tyre size would be 1.xx% smaller size than original. icon_rolleyes.gif

and of course grip would be higher for both rclxm9.gif
