Hello

Need an advise here.  smile.gif

I am looking for Michelin donut with the size of 245/45R17 and encounter a few offers:

1. Nearest Michelin Authentic dealer - RM 450 (not include GST)

2. Facebook - RM 440 (include GST)

3. Tyre Price Malaysia - RM 400 (include all but the tire is 2015's)

Should i opt for the 2015 tires? The price is very tempting..  hmm.gif

Sure Germany made better ah? I think thai made better coz the road condition, weather and all in malaysia is similar to thailand so its already localised

Low profile tires are those tires with very thin sidewall. I'd say the sidewall height is less than 10cm.
Low profile tires can find any tire shops la. Looks good, can improve handling response on smooth roads, but uncomfortable and more risky to damage the rims.

That is low profile already coz your sidewall height is very thin already at only 9.4cm. My recommendation is to stay above 10cm for best compromise between look, handling, and comfort, ideally between 10.5-11.5cm.

The lesser the sidewall height, the harder the ride quality. Vice versa, the more the sidewall height, the more comfortable the ride but also more floating. So like I said above, the ideal compromise based on my experience is to get tires with sidewall height between 10.5cm-11cm.
What is your current tire size and for what car? You need to match more or less with the same total diameter with maximum tolerance of 3% from original size, cannot just simply go thinner or taller tires as you wish.

Hmm very small car tires. I suggest just stick with the 165/60/14 coz it's rather thin already, borderline at 9.9cm sidewall.

It's bigger actually than 165/55/14. Not sure what is the std size for Viva, never pay attention on that.
