I'm sure I'm missing some understanding due to being a newbie though, does this site or related site have 'tyre 101' to help understand what it means?Go into this website, select your tire size on the upper right hand side, select summer tyres and check on the recommendation tires. Clink into the tire which your interested like example Falken ZE310 https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Falken/ZIE...E310-EcoRun.htm Check on the Latest Tyre Test Results click on the View Full Test>> link and see the tires being tested. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2023-Be...yres-Tested.htm look under into Environment, Noise area and also the tire ranking below of their remarks. |

Must be positive effect lah since you are doing this for 2 cars. suppose minimal effect on straights. big affect turnings. Here's what I found out from the tyre size calculator. Speedometer will show lower than the actual.  |

Your sport rim width is one of the concern. Here's what I found out from the tyre size calculator. Speedometer will show lower than the actual. Just imagine your feet original shoe size is 8, then u upgrade to 9 and try run high speed and swift into corners how do you feel? Simple logic. Check your sport rim spec. first before decides. https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/charts/t...-rim-size-chart https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/charts/r...h-for-tire-size This post has been edited by littlefire: Jun 12 2023, 09:07 AM iiioloiii liked this post

My stock rim size is 7.0 x 18 so based on the chart, I could still use 225/45/18.Just imagine your feet original shoe size is 8, then u upgrade to 9 and try run high speed and swift into corners how do you feel?

 Hi, I recently noticed that there’s green line showing on my Tyre. Does it mean that I have to change it already? Stock tyre 5yr+ mileage 52k. |

QUOTE(Confession @ Jun 29 2023, 12:31 AM) unless the sidewall has damage, it pretty much look still safe to drive some manufacturers has this cool idea to show some colour after half its wear or some predefined value. Sounds like this is it |

QUOTE(furipu @ Jul 20 2023, 11:58 AM) Hi They last longer than rubber valves. Normally the rubber valves get hardened over time & tend to get torn whenever you change tires.Is there any advantage replacing the original rubber with metal valves? Thanks Metal valves you do not need to change it everytime you change tires. After a few sets of tire change, you only need to change the seals around the valves.

So, within tolerance (less than 3% difference).CC7 is available for 185/60R14 size. Pros: better than CC6. Cons: a bit higher priced |
