Heheapa 1st Gear April 21, 2019 Share April 21, 2019 Thinking to change my tyre to Primacy4 but only 195/65R15 or 195/60R15 available. So I am asking if 185/65R15 to 195/65R15 or 195/60R15? Which one is better? The 195/65 has higher Load Index as well. I am currently driving an Honda Freed Hybrid MPV. Sometimes fully loaded with 7 people.

Thanks. what do you mean by better ? better in terms of comfort? 185/65R15 better better in terms of ride firmness ? 195/60R15 better better in terms of look? change your rim, 15" will not look better than larger rims but you cannot comply change your tyres size this way, you need to know your original size, when you change the width and profile of your tyres, the overall diameter has to be closed to the original size. Tyre shop would be able to help you. alternatively, post your original size here , i am sure bros here would help you with. key is you need to state what you are looking for.

Kar_lover Supercharged April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 Will don't you consider getting 205/60/15? This way the overall wheel size will be almost unchanged. But not sure if Primacy 4 is available in this size or whether this will cause your car to feel "heavy" although you will definitely get better grip with the 205 section.

Wormee 5th Gear April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 I’m assuming your stock size is 185/65R15. I would suggest you stick to 195/65R15. Downsizing to profile 60 would result in overall circumference to be smaller and speedo reading to be out by a little but not significant. Unless you are upsizing the rim to 16, then you could go either 185/60R16 or 195/55R16. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subutai 3rd Gear April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 Choose the size that differs the least from stock so odometer is least affected. Stock size is best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your odo, speedo, etc will still be fairly accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heheapa 1st Gear April 23, 2019 Author Share April 23, 2019 The Stock size is 185/65R15 While Primacy 4 only have 2 sizes for 15": 195/65R15 or 195/60R15 I got no concern for odo, speedo. My concerns are for the braking distance and cornering. 16" is not in my consideration currently. The 195 is slightly wider than my stock tyre. And Primacy 4 should be far superior than the cheap dunlop ecosave. My previous MPV was on Primacy3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Hypersonic April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 just stick to stock size. tyre size is designed for that particular circumference for many reasons. it might not be a concern for driver, but its a concern for the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
