Ooosh 1st Gear March 15, 2012 Share March 15, 2012 Why no good? Isnt the same as 215/45/17 to 225/40/17? Car will be more stable at higher speed and but lower profile means more noisy on the road and more feedback from the roads..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen 1st Gear March 15, 2012 Author Share March 15, 2012 (edited) Will the reading be way off? DIfference is actually about 4.2% Edited March 15, 2012 by Keen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadguy 1st Gear March 15, 2012 Share March 15, 2012 (edited) nah usually 2- 5% off only. unless the size you change is very huge in differences. But u will lose slight comfort as the tyre is thinner. If ur rim is 6.5j, it should be able to take 195 width.

Keen 1st Gear March 15, 2012 Author Share March 15, 2012 Is 4.2% difference still in the safe range? If it is in the safe range then I will change it tomorrow. Worried cos saw some website stating that more then 3% difference will alter the braking system... ABS kick in earlier etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasguzzler 1st Gear March 15, 2012 Share March 15, 2012 More like there will be bulging on the sidewalls cos it's wider than your rims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear March 15, 2012 Share March 15, 2012 Will the reading be way off? DIfference is actually about 4.2% Not much of an impact but try to get a profile to as close or accurate as ths speedometer reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephas 3rd Gear March 15, 2012 Share March 15, 2012 120.25mm v.s. 107.25mm Speedometer reading can be off quite a fair bit from actual speed. Difference try not to be more than 2.5% as recommended by most tyre calculator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 after reading all the + and - points here most will get confused To me 100% sure improvement stick to your Original size and but the premium quality tyre . everything comes with the Price. Speedo meter reading is not very important to me so long you do your reading correction OK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dldm Neutral Newbie March 21, 2012 Share March 21, 2012 If confuse, can go here take a look at wat sizes are available for stock size 185/65R15 http://www.efxsoft.com/sgtyres/qnatyresize...esizeid=1856515 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephas 3rd Gear March 21, 2012 Share March 21, 2012 usually, if you are changing your stock wheels for sporty look wheels, most likely, the rim size will up from stock rim & tyre profile height will down from stock tyre. very simple, measure your stock wheel diameter then look for the biggest allowable rim size + lowest allowable tyre profile height to match closest to your stock wheel diameter.

Cephas 3rd Gear March 23, 2012 Share March 23, 2012 (edited) brother you really go and measure the wheels this way cos u said reading all the points confusing....so i suggest the fool-proof way lor... Sporty look = more metal, less rubber Lorry look = more rubber, less metal overall, you will still need to be as close to the original spec to maintain original car spec performance. but slightly bigger rim look more fierce lah.... Ultimate consideration is safety...go for wider tyre for more contact with the road....175 to 195 for example.
