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

I'm thinking to go with this, will it looks not so nice with the rim outlook? 50 better? Any difference?

If u dun wan to impact ur fc, better stick to 15. Anything above ll hav a huge change on ur fc.

I know that the price of 15" and 16" tyre have much difference... Besides, the fc may vary as well... Would like to know how much is the difference?

I m currently using 195/55/15 tyres for my myvi.. before this, I used 195/50/15..

50 looks nicer as not so fat.. I use 55 now as no more stock for 50 series..

55 is slightly more comfortable.. 50 slightly better in cornering..

Price difference a bit only.. less than 5 ringgit per tyre.. 50 cheaper than 55 smile.gif

Oh man, this is killing me... Which one to go for...? Arrgghhhhhh....

i think 50 or 55 series its depend on what tyre u choose.. if like PS3 the sidewall really soft, so not suitable with aggressive driving style..
if u dont think too much about comfy just use 50 series..

My driving style is quite rough... and changing lane frequently...

especially when u changing lane at high speed.. if 55 series maybe u can feel a bit wobble compare 50 series if both is same brand tyre..

Ic... Which means you recommend to go for 50 instead of 55?

"for better grip and stabilization"

pointless if u go for cheapass tires... sticking to ur current stock wheels with higher performance tires will yield better results.

as for ur question...

id recommend 195/55....best all rounder... u get decent handling and comfort... even some track cars run this size...
but as i mentioned above... upgrade to bigger wheels but put goodyear NCT5 really doh.gif for what u wanted.... best to budget a minimum of RM250/tire for a decent performing tire...

+1, better explanation here.. tyre grip is important too

Currently Im using Continental CC5. Any recommendation for high performance tyre?

My vios with ori rim 14 inch 185 can run to 460km per full tank.
i change 16 inch low profile 205 tyre only can run 310km per full tank. Same driving style. Mainly city drive.

Wow... This is significant... I'm not going for 16"

QUOTE(shinn_tan @ Dec 31 2014, 12:07 PM)
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

Lower the body need additional cost and I dont know workshop who is specialize in this field... I'm wondering 50 and 55 looks different or not on their display?
