Nullbig Clutched March 19, 2007 Share March 19, 2007 Anyone can advise if there is such a size?? My wife thinking of up sizing her shoes from 165/65 R13, which I am totally in support of for safety reason less FC...(better grip more impt for small cars)..

Nullbig Clutched March 19, 2007 Author Share March 19, 2007 A lot of brands only carry 175/60 R14...But the stock specs is 155/70 R13... Using 175/60 will really throw the speedo off by a fair bit.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankloh 1st Gear March 20, 2007 Share March 20, 2007 can try looking for 175/55/R14.....this size is more closer to ur stock specs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullbig Clutched March 20, 2007 Author Share March 20, 2007 Bro....that's what I am trying to do...(See my thread title!!) Its just that I just can't seem to find a brand in Singapore that carry this size....Bridgestone NO, Falken NO, Yoko also NO, I think... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankloh 1st Gear March 20, 2007 Share March 20, 2007 Sorry Type, should be 175/50/R14..... If you increase rim size, your profile shld reduce by 10, if you increase the width, profile shld drop by another 5. Original 65 - 15 = 50 There you can try looking for 175/50/R14, shld be the same dia as ur original. I came across these type of funny size tyres in J.B.

Octopus 3rd Gear March 20, 2007 Share March 20, 2007 If you increase rim size, your profile shld reduce by 10, if you increase the width, profile shld drop by another 5.

Refer: http://www.1010tires.com/tech.asp?type=wheels#plussizing Quote: " Here's the rule of thumb for "plus sizing": Plus 1: Increase section width by 10mm Decrease aspect ratio by 10 points Increase rim diameter by 1 inch Plus 2: Increase section width by 20mm Decrease aspect ratio by 20 points Increase rim diameter by 2 inches.

Frost98 1st Gear March 27, 2007 Share March 27, 2007 you can try this size. 165/55/r14. for Goodyear Ducaro. i saw it at my mechanic in JB. about SG$50 per piece. made in malaysia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vit4wd 1st Gear April 1, 2007 Share April 1, 2007 The size you want is very rare. I think it is perfectly fine to stick to the orig size. Broader & lower profile tyres translate to higher fuel consumtion and heavier steering plus a more bumpy ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
