Honda Jazz 15" tyre recommendation.

[SimonTan]

Mine will be 15"

Thinking of upgrade to 16" or even 17" for the looks.

But then hor....got to have $$$.

BEtter stick to the stock 15"

I just changed my tires for GD1 Jazz.

 

At Hankook at Shun Li Industrial park.

Hankook Ventus v12. The uncle there very friendly. Workers also all on the ball one.

 

What impressed me the most is the uncle fixed a kerb rash for me for FREE!!!.

In and out within 1/2 hr.

The boss of the tire shop at AMK always give attitude, so i went to try hankook.

 

Got 195/50/15 profiles, should have gotten /55 profile. Now there is a large gap between the wheel arch......

Actually my advise would be to u either stay on 15 or 16.. Because i personally wasted around $600 change from 15 to 16 and again back to 15 again in less then 1 month.. Haha.. If u don wan the gap change to a coilover to lower ur ride.. 17" would be too heavy for our ride and fc will drop alot.. If u wan to know more on how to mod ur ride u might wan visit fitjazz club or ge club.. :)

Hi bro, i already member of fitjazz club.

 

already on coilovers, lower till half finger on 185/60/15.

 

Just changed to 195/50/15 then the gap appear. Haha.

 

But Ventus v12 is cheap and good. threads look aggressive.

[Japan96]

Use michellin pilot 3 or Yokohama advan

[Rtth84]

Federal 595 EVO very value for money, around 80 per pc for 195/55/15

Good rite ..pick up more power.. FC more good..

I dun understand why my FC should improve but it did.

 

185/60/15 = 74mm touching the road

195/50/15 = 97.5mm

 

How come my FC can improve when the surface area in contact with the road goes up.

The V12 is a directional tyre though, maybe that could be the cause.

In my opinion, 16" with wider tyres for more grip would still be reasonable.

 

17" might be too big an upgrade plus the other consideration would be the FC.

 

I have upgraded from 15" to 16". My FC is still alright for me.

T1R is good but side wall flex too much.

 

[Hpv500]

currently on DNA dB front, A spec rear....195/60/15

 

PS3 / XM2 / T1R / DNA dB / RE001 (if still avail)

 

which of these got low profile tyres which have gd sidewalls....comfort is not my main concern....want less noise.....safety and grip on dry/wet....

 

anyone used before can comment? thanks in advance~
