which size of tire should i go for if i want to 'downgrade' from 205/45/16 to a 14" ?
and how about for a 15" ?
any tips guys?

i'm driving a wira SE auto 1.5L

should i maintain the same total tire 'height' ?
any problem with the shocks, absorbers, etc later on?

* damn the stock tires are expensive .. want to downgrade alrdy

haha .. changed the tires alrdy ... got myself 185/60/14 Dunlop .. (downgraded from 205/45/16)
as of now i'm pretty much happy with it ... now i feel the steering is much lighter than b4 ...
and whenever there's a bump, i feel much 'softer' instead of a straight *thud* *klunk* *bump* thingy ...

driving on the highway was also nicer ... felt like the car has more power and less bumpy (softer feeling)
hope to see a slight drop in fc (if possible) ... right?

i'm on a tight budget anyway ...so i got myself the used stock proton wira sedan rims (14") ...
and yeah, i was a bit moved to get those shiny-sporty-cooler-looking rims ...but ...errrr ..
tight budget liao...

i traded in all tires and rims ...then strut in the new tires for RM140 each ...
total paid : RM680 ... ok ah?

i felt it's quite worth it ..because to change all four 16" tires was alrdy around ~RM 1k+

eh how to know the tire's correct pressure to fill in?
my new dunlop sp490 185/60/14 dun have any writing in terms of tire pressure ..?

i'm driving a wira SE

currently i use 200kPa (~29psi) for all tires

yeah can look at the door panel, but that is with the original tires. now i've changed from 205/45/16 to 185/60/14 alrdy ..
so how? i dun think can put in the same pressure to the tires anymore
