Tire Recommendation

[Cwinedine]

I think michelin pp2 is a good choice for comfort & performance although its made in Thailand.

[Beregond]

why no bridgestone ? f1 tire cant be wrong.

 

bridgestone 15' , for latio should be my01 or ar10 , both is non japan , thailand i think, and the price is not really cheap.

ar10 still not bad, my01 not much review on it, hope some good folk on my01 can give some review.

 

f1 i assume u are talking about goodyear eagle F1? that is a very noise tyre, i wont reccomd it for nissan latio -.-.

(nothing much to complain about its performance and price through LOL )

 

if want to take non japan tyre, michlin pp2 thai, or bridgestone ar10 thai , should be good choice.

 

make in japan but still low price, goodyear ls2000, even higher end japan ?? toyo teoplus .

pai sei, not much experience wth michelin tyres, but i guess from their 'brand' even from thailand quality should be quite good.

 

i had only 1 experience with michlin tyres, last time they got 1 model energy or something, suppose to be very lasting,

indeed, i check the side wall, the THREADWEAR was 400+ , wow, lol, u very very seldom came across tyres with 400 + thread wear, the tyres is indeed lasting , but the side effect is the rubber is extreme hard , i cannot stand the noise even b4 i could use 50 % of the thread, that is my 1 and only experience with michlin .

 

pp2 i also want to know, any kind folk use pps 15' thai, kindly give some review, cheers.

what is the difference if i use a different size tyre like instead of 215 i use 225?

[Elfenstar]

If possible I would suggest 225/45R18 as the circumference difference is 1.4% vs. 2.2% for the 225/40R18.

 

Think this would be helpful so you understand what changing one aspect of the size does http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/read...e-sidewall.html

Depends on the width of your wheel. if its 6.5 and above, you're safe.

18 ' rim i think should be at least 7 ' wide, suitable for 225. in fact your rim might be 7.5' wide. in any case , u can do a self check.

 

should be some thing like this '18 x 7' or 18 x 7.5 or 18 x 8 etc etc .

 

if its 18 x 6.5 pls share with us what model rim is that , i haven came across 18 x 6.5 rim b4 . :)

u look from outside , if u cannot see any wording like '15 x 6.5' etc etc or 16 x ;;; , or 17 x;;;

 

if u can see any thing, the number at the back is the width, the number in front '15', 16 , 17 is the rim size.

 

if u cannot see and u really really want to know the rim size , the only thing left to do is take out the whole tyre and see , it should be engrave at the back . plus the offset also .( unless u can call the carsales man see if they know? lol)

Just went to take a look at my owners manual.. it was saying the rims is 18 x 7. is it safe to change to 225/45/R18 tyres?

should be ok,

 

but 1 thing for u to take note, 225.40.18 is slightly smaller in diameter then 215.45.18.

0 225.45.18 is slightly bigger in diameter then 215.45.18 ( but i also feel 225.45.18 should be

should be better).

tis is wat e bible says:

if u r using 215...... 7" is ok

but

if u r using 225.....minimum is 7.5"

 

it is not safe if e rim is not wide enuh to accommodate e wider tyre

ya hamburger is correct actually strictly talking, 225 is not reccomended for 18 x 7 rims -.- . my mistake .

u can put 225wide tyres on 18 x 7 rims, ony if u really know what u look for .

 

( some tyres 225 if u measure its same as another model 215) like toyo drb, u stack up 4pcs 225. same height as falken 215 -.- . some time i also wonder how those engineers calcuate the width .
