really? but i heard XM1 not good for cornering, but good for highway drive as it hv less rolling resistance.

y find u for it? u open tyre shop? where r u?

Hi all, How much for the Goodyear NCT5 175/65/R14 for 4units. Plus balancing, chamber adjustment? My car is myvi.

Any advice & best price?

really? but i heard XM1 not good for cornering, but good for highway drive as it hv less rolling resistance.

i remember my father brought this vios just after a week it release, so it should be about 3 years, so 185 tyres will fit perfectly but still able to fit in to 5" la?

wat i need is performance, i dont need comfort

any hint for best bang for the buck guys? looking to change to a neo rim on my persona...i think 195/50/16 is best as compared to 205/50/16 of which will rub the inner fender of my wife's ride

185/60R14 can pair with 175/65R14 ar? sidewall height is different already

If you are willing to try other size and make, then give the Falken ZE-912 a try, they are selling for roughly RM150/each complete with installation and balancing, and 4 pieces will get free alignment.
XM-1 is more biased towards comfort and fuel economy, hence. The Pilot Precedia 2 would be the more performance biased model for Michelin.

Yes, 185 width will still fit 5" wide wheels.

Problem with you changing to 15" also is that since like you mentioned, your parents basically don't give a damn about the car as long as it runs, running 15" will end up with thinner profiled tyres, and also a higher possibility to get the 15" wheels dented since I doubt your parents will be avoiding potholes and the like.
Not too sure about the 195/50R16, probably very limited choices which is why most people would just go for 205/50R16, if not mistaken, Hankook has the 195/50R16 sizing.
185/60R14 and 175/65R14 sidewall height difference is just 2.75mm(with the 175/65 being taller by 2.75mm), kinda negligible I reckon.

nearest 195/50-16 is 205/45-16~

better stick back to 14" change all set to 15" will be over budget already, even with 2nd hand, dont think can get a light weight rim with cheap price.

PP2 also available in 175 and 185?

Yes, but the current trend as in more common size is 205/50R16 or 205/55R16 hence they are nowadays cheaper than 205/45R16, at least, that's how the trend is going nowadays for certain tyre makes.
Yes, better to stick back to 14" and if you can, change all 4 at the same time, if your rear tyres are still pretty thick(which I would expect so since they hadn't been rotated before), you could probably still trade them in.

I believe the PP2 is only available in 185/60R14.

Since you are so good in it, then why don't you give the recommendations instead of keeping quiet until I come out with something doubtful and you come shooting at it?

cuz u said it's cheap ma~

but for my wife's ride persona tyre width of 205 would rub the inner fender...195 would be just fine...how much u guys reckon it cost 1?

Federal 595
205/45/16 = rm 210
225/45/17 = rm 290
235/45/17 = rm 320

grex...the offset is at 38...a fren's ride with 195 does not rub while the other fellow at 205 does rub...

appreciate if u guys can show the price...

Decent price for them. Which model is that price for? SS595 or 595-RS?

Any ideas of their 15" pricing?

Seems like the size of 195/50R16 have really limited choice indeed. Only have Continental CSC1 and Yokohama(no ideas what's the model), for the Continental, the price ranges around RM210-225(from quicksave in USJ7) This tyre size is shared by the new Jazz and also Swift Sport, probably can get pre-owned tyres from those that changed to bigger sizes for cheaper.
