For some reason my iriz does not have xxkm/L but it does have xxL/100KM
Isnt both of these are supposed from the same pot, not sure if there any way to unlock the xxkm/L meter via obd or somewhere?
My best miles is always at most 6.5L/100KM, no idea in KM/L as my car dont have this as mentioned above.
Yes, proportion wise 16 inch does look better especially if one using stock absorber and stock springs else it look so wrong with 15 inch wheels
But my car came with 16 inch but I downsize to lighter 15 inch with 195/55 tires as opposed to 16 inch 185/55 & 195/50 size
For me the obvious benefit is during start stop traffic where lesser effort needed to move the car.
Not to mention the car is much comfortable as opposed to 195/50 tires even my 15 inch tires are maxxis Ipro which i believed is more harder than other tires.
How do find driving with 205/50 on persona? For me I felt it is a little too big for 1.6 NA engine to handle and preferred 195/50 if i were to go back to 16 inch which most unlikely to happen. At least more tire choices in 205/50 than 195/50 especially on the UHP side of things
I can only comment on the basis of the tire performance. Switching from high performance tires to comfort bias touring tire has its significant differences. Isnt both of these are supposed from the same pot, not sure if there any way to unlock the xxkm/L meter via obd or somewhere?

Grip levels are way lower. Braking distances are longer & I can't whack the corners as I did before. However, noise are significantly reduced. No more droning noise. I can hear the radio & my passengers better. It has got too quiet as I could hear the road noise. It shows how noisy the Maxxis Victra I-Pro tires were. Ride comfort is still there & much better as the the sidewall height is only 5mm less. The sidewalls are softer & that contributes to the less bouncy feeling when going through road undulations.
In terms of nimbleness, it was slightly noticeable that the new wheel setup is heavier than the previous. However, this is not an issue for me as I've always driven spiritedly most of the time.
Time will tell if my next set of tires will remain the touring type or do I have to change back to UHP tires.
There is no low noise UHP tires. Yokohama Advan Apex V601 is not available in 16 inchers.
