Vin2212 Neutral Newbie June 19, 2005 Share June 19, 2005 strange hor, y justin always recommend 205/45 for 16inch rims. i change my wheels 2 days ago. he ask mi to get the 205/45-16 oso bt i came back n realise the % error is 4.9%. not oni urs n mine. another vios tat day oso change to e similar size as us. i tot if follow calculator, we should change to 205/50-16. any1 have comments on tis... Quote Finally I made my way down to pxx xxxg BATTERY AND TYRE CO. Blk 4002, Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1 #01-04, Singapore 569623. Tel : 6456-3344 Contact person is: Justin Initially only intent to change tyre but saw a nice 16" rim so very tempted. So without the intention to buy in the first place, start bargaining with Justin and to my surprise we closed the deal below $800/- for the 16" rim (4 nos) plus 4 205/45/R16 BS GIII tyres. How to reject such a price, so on him. Btw the price he quoted includes trading in my existing tyres and rim. Also if you mention you are member of MCF I think you should get a better price. Here are 2 pcs for show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen2 Neutral Newbie June 19, 2005 Author Share June 19, 2005 (edited) Hi Vin2212, I'm not sure how you calculate the % error but following one of the link provided in another topic, the % error comparing 195/55/R15 and 205/45/R16 is very small and also the closest you can get.

Carmodz Neutral Newbie July 4, 2005 Share July 4, 2005 IMHO, one of the best wet tyres is Falken ST-115. Quiet enough and comfortable. Downside is not lasting.[/reply] I jus met 1 dude at pxx xxxg on sat (020705) who drives a mazda 6 GTS. Came with 17" rims and ST115. He says the handling and grip IS good, but bloody noisy. When travelling on expressways, says he can hardly hear his gf talking... Whats your take on this?:> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kysm72 Neutral Newbie July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 hi, i did go down to have a look but i guess as i am a gal with a small car they were not too interested or busy........wanted to ask, mine is a 14 inch wheel but wht brand of tires r good for for roads in malaysia and if i wanted to upgrade to a 16 inch wheel, my friends say the noice is lourder than my comfort wheel, do i need to bring the car lower to the tires or change any part?

Carmodz Neutral Newbie July 13, 2005 Share July 13, 2005 hiya, there are many many types of tires but the main questions are 1) budget 2) your preference? Do u want comfort tires? or do you prefer super grippy stuff? If your a safe driver, don take hard corners, don speed too much and always keep your distance, I think u can get Turanza GR 80 tires. Silent & comfortable. Cos for 14" im not sure what other High Performance tire sizes are available As for ur 16" upgrade, well...ur ride will be bumpier because of the lower tire profile. Pick up and Fuel consumption should suffer because of the larger contact area with the road and heavier rims. As for the noise levels, depends on ur tires u choose. But remember, the bigger the rims and tires, the more money u will have to spend as well. Lowering ur ride with bigger rims will give ur car a sportier and "fiercer" look. Lowering is good for the centre of gravity = more stable. Downside is ur ride will be firmer and bumpier aka less comfortable. So think abt it, prioritise on which is more important to you. I hope my inputs have helped alil, anything can just ask, im sure everyone here will help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vit4wd 1st Gear December 30, 2005 Share December 30, 2005 Quote Quote Bridgestone Potenza GIII's performance is good It's slippery when wet......so dun try anything funny when it's raining. I learnt the hard way..... Now I swear off Potenzas.... What happened? What speed were you travelling? You cannot tyres to grip the wet rd like on a dry rd. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
