Recommendation for Tyres

[Elky1211]

Hi. If my stock tyres are 195/45/16, would anything wrong happen to my ride if I change to 205/55/16 etc or a higher profile tyre?

 

I'm driving a Mazda 2 DE btw... Quite noob here so need advice. Thanks!

Current profile 195/50/15, Dunlop LM703. 

 

Is it possible to change it to 195/55/15 without changing rim?

I changed from 185/55/15 to 195/50/15, negligible differences in speedometer reading, so yes it's fine to change without changing rims.

The original specifications is there for a reason.

 

Why the need to change it unnecessarily.

 

You sure you better than the engineers of the make?

Bro, increasing the width might cause the front tires to rub against your wheel wells, esp when full lock. Of course, it's depending your car model. Better drive to tyre shop to seek their advice. Edited June 16, 2016 by Optramagnum

main concern would be comfort and wear(durability)

CSC5 SUV has excellent wet grip.. fairly quiet until around 12 to 14k mileage then have road noise.. treadwear 420 should last 40-50k technically but I think that if one pumps them at 250kpa cold.. my first set of CSC5 I pump 250, current set I pump 230, can see that 250kpa have a lot of tread left. Sidewall is soft so it's lacking on cornering feedback if one drive aggressively around corners. I like it as it's quite comfortable though.

 

I don't mind using CSC5 but I think should try another tyre models

hi,

 

driving a FXT too. wats ur tire size that u r using for CSC5 SUV ? I am on 225-55-18, kinda hard to find a match

[Victor68]

I also agree the manufacturer would be the best person to know what work best for their car model. However, to keep cost low, the tyres may have been replaced with cheaper options for the different market.

 

I would usually go for tyre that will be quieter but not compromise on safety on wet road. Of course cost too. haha

The size I'm using is 235/55-18, slightly bigger than stock size. For 224/55-18 limited choice, Dueler Sports, Scorpion Verde and Continental Cross contact

Potenza very good. Good cornering capability due to stiff sidewall and good grip. But have to compromise comfort. Quite loud as well.
