In that case the closest conversion to 19' will be 225/45/19 as mentioned above. However if TS already feels 225/50/18 is a bit bumpy then forget about it because 225/45 will noticeably be more bumpy!

QUOTE(Level 60 Wizard @ Feb 22 2019, 03:15 PM) just took photo this morning..here's the profile : 225/50/R18 Yup, 225/50 is actually still pretty thick profile with 11.2cm sidewall height, so it is still relatively pretty comfortable, not to mention you're using Turanza which is already supposed to be comfort level tire model. The fact that even with such setup you still feel it's rather bumpy means you absolutely would not be able to tolerate anything remotely low profile tires at all! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(Level 60 Wizard @ Feb 25 2019, 09:31 AM) Yes they are sir! you mean run flat will be less comfy compared to normal ones? Yes RFT will have stiffer sidewall to enable supporting the load even without air.Hmm, maybe i should change to normal once after these worn out. Else like what you mentioned above, i reckon upsizing to 19" is a big no no if i want comfort over style. And thanks on the Turanza info, i have no idea what brand it was actually. LOL. my initial impression was hmm, maybe some cheapo thailand tyre like thunderer or something. i reckon base on what you said, it's some good tyre then Turanza is actually Bridgestone tire model. ☺️ It's a good mid range category tire, similar like Michelin Primacy. |

QUOTE(Level 60 Wizard @ Feb 25 2019, 10:01 AM) Ahh. i see. i am total noob when it comes to tyres. You may need to carry spare tire though if you use normal type tire.thanks for all the info. i guess i will give non-RFT a try once current ones worn out. Then will see whether still relevant to upsize to 19". Appreciate it! |

QUOTE(Level 60 Wizard @ Feb 25 2019, 10:07 AM) Thanks for the thought! but since i seldom travel outside my state, and also i know a couple of tow truck guys..so i guess it wont be difficult to get someone to fix my tyre if puncture. I'd suggest to at least carry an electric pump. That would be enough to cover most puncture situations so you can reach the nearest tire shop. I have 1 in each of car. |
