Define "not stable". Vibrations felt or car sways sideways?

judging frm ur mileage, maybe front suspension/absorber. can go alignment if needed to.. another reason cld be ur power steering belt might be too old or worn out. check for cracks. in conclusion best go to workshop n explain lol

I don't know about the feeling of running on 15 inches before, perhaps those using this tyre size can shed some light onto this. Either that or shock absorbers have worn out.
Is it only recently that you felt this "unstable" issue or just recently? Frankly speaking, I thought the car is heavy enough that it's resistance to any "unstable-ness". Never had stability issues before.

Bro. vibration at high speed usually due to tyre balance and wheel alignment. Do get it tested. Regards

generally high speed... balancing.... not so high speed.... alignment....
but normally just one shot do both.... and every tyre change do balancing... will do

previously on 17" no sway left right issue but after change to 15" (195/60/15), i supposed due to the thick/high side wall, when doing high speed say 140kmh, u will feel sway effect when u overtaking bus or lorry especially in NSH, all buses n lorries drive at 100kmh above n create wind resistance from their front to left n right so the wind actually flow on us when we overtaking them. some uneven road condition might give u some sway effect as well. just make sure ur tyres always got enough pressure to minimize the bouncy effect imho.

Yes bro tommythk, I got the feeling also. So overtaking need to be abit more careful.
For 15" I feel bouncy becuz of the higher profile-thicker sidewall. Normally people using profile 55 to 60. Rebound rate like also more when going down slope.

My V2 Auto with 16" rims I can feel the vibration when I travel at 110km but when past 125km to 130km my car is stable. With 16" rims top speed proven 185km/h when I drive from S'pore-Genting-S'pore. Now my V2 is on 17" rims (10km/L) very stable, cant feel any vibration at all but have not try the top speed yet.

Yours is about the same as mine just that I am on 16". I consider it good. How many cars can actually achieve this figure? My friend's Nissan Latio not as good as our v1. Which is quite surprising!!
