actually, i did thinking about this after i noticed both of my rear wheels are 'botak' already.. so, i'm planning to change them with the higher profile tyres as i just heard a rumour saying that.. higher profile give us more comfort.. icon_rolleyes.gif anyway, is it that 5mm (50mm-45mm), really give give me an obvious look to my car later? is the different is so huge? blink.gif
about the tyre turns faster, at the moment i didn't think about that yet.. wink.gif
yaa.. i just plan to put it at rear wheels only.. nod.gif  i got this pictures also from the net.. i think it's not bad aite? what do you think about this bro? isn't it look nice? laugh.gif

it's due to the budget constraint issue.. if i change the rim wheels it will cost me more.. if i'm only changing those two tyres.. it will cost me less.. rclxms.gif

i got confusion in this thread
handling u guys mean izzit really handling or simply just grip?

front n rear weight balance... which in turn relates to amount of traction available when u hard brake into corners and so on....

not to mention, different sets of tyres gives different handling characteristics... mix all of them together n u'll get a unpredictable handling...

but my waja is the 1st generation 1.. dun hv those technologies (abs, ebd.. etc).. even the airbag also dun hv.. i think it shud b ok aite?

as i said, u cant overcome laws of physics... even ur car dont have ABS, EBD, etc., u will still feel the difference in handling due to different tyre profile...

PS: if drive like aunty uncle go pasar early morning ok i guess... but if u alwiz drive on the limit of ur car capability, better not...
