Remain at 13"... Go For Michellin MX2.~ Rm 170/- each. Damn GOOD tyre. No regrets.
14" and above tyres are More Expensive. This post has been edited by oldies1950: Apr 11 2018, 02:15 PM |

Change to 15' and use tyres 195/50/15, NOT 195/60/15 as in your poll coz that is too big! By changing to 195/50/15 then you can use much better tires like Hankook V12 Evo 2. If just use 13 or 14 inch then can only use low end tires with poor grip. |

original 175/65/14, does upgrade to 195/50/15 will really consume more petrol (provided getting new lighter rim, and eco tyres)?

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Apr 17 2018, 05:40 PM) serious? The threshold of the braking would be better/higher where ABS would not kick in as soon as the tire has more grip, so you should be able to stop sooner in emergency situation. But there'll be no difference in your brake pedal feel. Performance would not be underpowered too. All these if you use lighter rims so that your total package of rims+tyres weigh the same or less than your stock, and your total diameter is more or less the same as stock.then what about braking on wider tyre, any difference? also, what about performance, would it underpower? |

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Apr 23 2018, 05:34 PM) if maintaining 14" rim, what are the tyre options available for bezza? If stay 14', no good choices available, only lower end models like Michelin Xm2 or maybe the Dunlop Sport J5.if upgrade to 15" rim, what are the tyre options available for bezza? If go 15' then got more good UHP tire choices, like Hankook V12 Evo 2, Michelin PS3, and Goodyear F1D5. |
