am only on my first few tanks since i changed from 175/75/14 to 195/55/15 the pick up feel v laborious and car slowdown v fast (save on brakes ;D) the change also supp to affect speedometer slower by 1+% so i always keep an eye to make sure i not too slow on the road but i realised my FC also sometimes gd sometimes v bad THEN... today i realised this landmark that i used to pass everyday at 18.3km is now 18.5km on my tripmeter i noticed a few days liao but i thought is cos i change lane often so a bit longer distance thn it hits me that the error in speedo prolly flowed down to the tripmeter.... all my calculations are in a mess now. so actually cannot just compare like that rt? anyone any better idea how to monitor?

Erm, of course you feel pickup slower as you have upgrade from 14" to 15".
We cerato guys is downgrade from 16" to 15" so we feel better pickup.
For you, on 15" will feel more stability when turning though and road grip.
Speedo error is it becuz of not following your tire profile recommendation of your car ride?

well if u wanted less problems on pickup u shd have looked at the weight of the rims first. like for me just nice got this replica SSR feels lighter than the popular RS02 now..... and i was even recommended a 16" which is lighter than those 15" RS02 too. it seems the RS02 quite heavy.

Yes RS-01 or RS-02 nice looking only but heavy...but more common le.... like even plain looking ride got them fitted on....

Bro, below is my most sincere advise. The reality - You have changed your rims/tyres. SO..... LOOK FORWARD - Just enjoyed your drive, plan your road, drive w moderate speed & regular servicing.. Rest don't bother abt it. Hv you realised you are 'troubled' & maybe even not enjoying ur drive? tats not a good way to LOVE our 2nd wife isn't it?

Can fit..if u hv not install lowered spring or often full load...but to me, Rio nt recommended for 17'..16' acceptable. Best is 15'.

Bro, what's ur stock size? Diff overall diameter will affect speedo reading eh
I on 195/55/15 but exact words from bro mindbox when I was deciding 'I use 195 55 15 last time... If can find 195 60 15 better'. So I guess it shld be better?
But honestly, I'm wondering if 185 will be better... 195 v draggy leh 15" can put 185?

Should have 185 for 15" but will compromise stability when turning and less braking distance.

Post by theredstar on Sept 10, 2011 11:25:09 GMT 8
But my stock was 175 leh. So I thought 185 shld be an improvement without the drag of 195
And since the overall size is the the same, shld be ok rt? But is all talk lah, prolly 2 yrs to botak. Lol
