Hello, just a quick question. Not sure if this already been asked before. I have an Auto Pre F/L pica bought 4 years ago. last year I changed to 16" Sport Rim with tyre 195/45. What i notice is that the acceleration is slower. & currently I can only achieve top speed of 130KM/H on a flat road. it is killing my pica, because i also have to rev so hard to go more than 120KM/h.. before i change to the sport rim, i can reach 150+ easily.. even acceleration to 100km is faster.. Well Ive done Google-ing around & some say that my rim is too big for my car.. =( i don't want to change my rim, so i decided to maybe get a lower profile tyre maybe 195/40 or 195/35 (if available) so that the rolling distance is smaller. but the thing is, will this make a different? or should i really change to a smaller rim? Thanks

yup.. 195/45 on 16" rim. i'm thinking about changing the tire to 195/40 but i'm afraid that it won't do any difference..
