Need some opinion. Currently using myvi g3 standard rim and tyre. 185/55/15 goodyear assurance tripplemax V1.

I think because of the tyre noise, passenger feel like im driving faster than im really am. So i’m thinking to using a quieter tyre.

After further research i think continental UC7 to fits my need of having quite tyre without having too much compromise on performance or wet safety.

My only concern is below:

1) would it void any warranty coz UC7 smallest size for the standard rim are 195/55/15. While the original tyre are 185/55/15

2) if i turn the steering at full left or right, would the tyre hit the fender?

3) does the slightly wider tyre increase fuel consumption by alot? Or it’s minimal for example less than 5%?

4) would it affect the various ADAS feature?

Michelin pilot sport 5 traction rating is A while Pilot sport 3 is AA. Is this because the Ps5 is designed to improve the other aspect of the tyre(such as threadwear) while sacrificing the traction?

Or is it because the PS3 was tested and given rating using different and older standard? Meaning if PS3 are tested today, the traction rating will be similiar to PS5 which is A?
