Suspension geometry limitation..

Happens to cars with thick sidewall tyres..
Basically the dynamic camber during the u turns causes the tyre to ride almost on the sidewall.. the tyre slips.. because the turn anglenis too great...

The taller the sidewall, the worse kena.. Iriz with 195/55R15 kena..
Suprima with 215/45R17 and 225/45R17 tak kena..
See how the car is setup..

215/45/R17 to 225/40/R18, anyone did this upgrade before? appreciate if anyone could share the driving experience after it.

Wanna ask is wider tyre results higher FC?

215/55/16 dont have much choice.
i believe the few common options u have are ps3/3st michelin and yokohama maybe
for yr second question,suggest use 3st suitable to what u ask for.
why not use the mc5 by the way?not good enough for u?

i just changed my stock tire for Proton Iriz 1.6 MT. From 195/55r15 to 195/60r15. I was told later that my speedometer would be inaccurate due to increase in tire diameter. I just wonder if this truly was a bad tire change. Or is it possible to recalibrate the speedometer?

Why the change to 195/60? I feel that the 195/55 is tall enough.. and there is no shortage of options for 195/55R15.. speedo calibration is not possible.. calibrate mentally...

It will be a harsher ride, guaranteed!

All else equal, yes.

You got your priorities wrong, should be the other way around, coz you're not a taxi driver right?!

Yes the meter readings will be understated by your change. Note though that many cars actually have inaccurate meter readings to begin with! So one way to find out is just by comparing your speed between your speedo and a GPS device at constant highway speeds, say 100kph. If they're the same then actually you've corrected the inaccuracies of the std meters but if not then the GPS reading is the correct one. As for recalibrating the speedo. no cannot.

So how often can you afford to change tires, every year/2 years/3 years? If you can afford to change tires once every 2 years then I suggest for you to still go for high performance tires with good grip rather than durability. coz tires like Michelin PS3 with tread wear rating of 320 can last around 50k km or even a bit more if driven normally and with regular tire rotation at least every 20k km. But if you can only afford to change tires once every 3 years or more then you need to look for high durability tires with tread wear rating like 400 or above, for example Michelin XM2, Hankook S1 Noble 2, etc2 which are mostly low end category tires.

Look for Michelin Primacy 3ST.. lasted me 60k km before i change it out.. definitely had tread left.. maybe 2 or 3 mm..

Speedometer has always been inaccurate to begin with.
In a way, I consider this as a 'good' tyre change in possibly gaining 'better' mileage.
Stick to it and worry not.

looking to change my stock tyre on satria neo after 4 years
seems like not much option for 195/50R16
so may need to go for 205/45R16 right?

How much should i expect for Hankook V12 Evo2?
any other better recommendation around the same price?

Your size i dunno.. 215/45R17 is 420 or 480 per pcs at my place in East Malaysia.. basically MSRP..
Michelin says its 500/pcs for ur size..

You can get PS3 for around rm350-400 for your size I think, a bit expensive coz a rather odd size.

Anyone can help get quotation from 185/65 R15 for Nissan Almera at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah? Including alignment and balancing.
Has been using stock CONTINENTAL CC5 for four years, low mileage the threads still looks ok but I am sure the rubber is already quite dry after four years.
Thank you in advance.

CC6 is around RM200 i think.. big conti shop in sadong there..
Git my 195/55R15 there for 200/pcs

Thanks for the info. Going to get more brands and models for comparison before deciding.
