Hello, I'm using a Saga FLX 1.3. Recently changed my rims from stock 13" *rim besi* to 15" sport rims. Tires went from 175/70/13 to 195/50/15. Handling got much better but the throttle pedal feels much heavier and my highway speeds are suffering. What tire size should I change to? I'm considering 185/55/15, 175/(please suggest)/15. And how it would affect my FC. I don't mind sacrificing my handling aslong as my throttle response feels better and FC is around stock FC. Thank you!

And also, any specific tire brand/model? I'm eyeing Dunlop Formula D06 and Viking Protech PT6 currently. Open to any aslong as the price is around these 2. Thank you

Is there anyway for us regular joe to get the entire list of EU tyre label data? I would love to make a simple site/app for people to check the specification of a certain tyre, but I wasn't able to find any reliable data source.

Last time I checked, EU only provide these data to registered organisations.

Try searching any of those online tyre retailer based in Europe, eg, https://www.mytyres.co.uk/

torn between nexen ru1 and toyo proxes cr1 size 225/65/17. which one is better ?

You can download most of the data here

However this is not the complete one. The only way to get the complete item is through the EU label database which you can obtained the API officially.

Could not find any label indication for Toyo CR1. For Nexen RU1 , it is label A for wet and RR D.

Based on this RU1 would be my choice .

I'm driving a 2019 volvo xc60 t8. Replacing with the original Michelin latitude would cost 1.3k each. Suggestions under 700 per tyre?

Edit: 235 / 55 R19

Hello tire sifu, would like to know can a 185/55 r15 fit on my current rim that hold a 195/50/r15???

thanks tyre sifu. will change my old goodyear efficientgrip to RU1 soon. the price is very tempting. RM388 per donut.

I'm driving proton x50 (currently using continental UC6 215/55/18). I had replace aftermarket wheels (spec :18x8.5JJ Et+42 PCD5HX114.3). Currently I planning to change my 4 tyres. I'm looking for tyres that more grip in wet/dry. I had ask few tyres shop. They recommend me use 235/50/18. Kindly please advise what size of tyre should i get and any recommended for which tyre to get.

235 profile more wider more grip. suitable for your new 8.5jj rims. then all you need is UHP tyre like michelin PS4 SUV for better wet/dry conditions.

Maybe coz Toyo CR1 is specially designed for local Malaysian market?

Can fit since it is much narrower than original size. However, the tire sidewall will looked a bit stretched.

Beside PS4 SUV, what else suitable?

get all rounder michelin primacy suv or goodyear efficientgrip2 performance suv..both recommended by tyresreview youtube. but sadly goodyear malaysia dont bring that anymore. others can try hankook s1 evo3 SUV but rarely available or newly released pirelli rosso.

other mainstream suv tyre such as goodyear maxguard suv, conti uc6, toyo proxes cr1, yokohama bluearth xt, nexen ru1.

since my budget kecik, i want to try nexen ru1 after this. price is cheaper compared to other brand with AA traction rating.

Toyo CR1 is just normal touring tires.
Nexen RU1 is consider as performance SUV tire which is also OEM to Porsche Macan tires.
So which 1 better? Google it if dont believe.

Want good FC, good throttle response, dont want sacrificing handling.. Kek.. Upgrade sport rim tire size kedai tak bagitau impact ke?

Problem 1 - Tire size terus jump dari 175/70/13 -> 195/50/15, biasa orang test size 1 up 185/60/R14 dulu tengok boleh accept tak. Wira 1.6/1.8 pakai 14" pun handling cun jugak. Kalau 15" size paling dekat 185/55/15..
Problem 2 - Ape sport rim you guna? Sport rim kena ringan baru jimat minyak, kalau berat lebih baik pakai balik 13" atau downgrade 14". Kalau sport rim berat gile downgrade tire size pun tak kan help banyak.

Will there be any safety issue if force it like this? Bcs I be doing a trip from Penang>KL>Genting>penang soon.

"I don't mind sacrificing my handling" was one of my sentences but alright. Using ce28 Taiwans. FC is still good, just wondered if changing to wheels with a smaller width would help with FC.
