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! smile.gif

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

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.

"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.
