yes, it might. Get Conti EcoContact3 or Michelin Energy. Quieter i also do some researching, think continetal contact 3 is good. but not much pica user using it... i saw a lot ppl using good year. performance tyre? I'm using Continental EcoContact 3 165/65/13. Compared to the stock tyres: - Better steering response - Better cornering - FC improve by at least 1km/l due to low rolling resistance - Road noise is low - It's a great wet weather tyre. According to tests, one of the best. This is the reason why I got this tyre. For safety in wet wet Singapore. My personal opinion is that tyres matter more than rims when it comes to safety, and it is more important to invest in good tyres.

actually always heard people said light weight rims,how light isit then can consider light weight in the range?im using 14" 6inch width n each rim is 5kg.so isit consider light or heavy?i have seen 3.8Kg 14" rims at 1.2k per set.and for tyre,im using 185/55/14....no problem going thru water pool during heavy rain at 100km/hr on expressway. Mayb we r considering too much for wat we want on the picanto,buy towards the feel of ur heart,see it,like it then pay for it,y consider so much factors.anywae buy liao if dun like then change lor,all r accessories mah

So dun complain. then after using this, I think the $$ spend is worth it on tyres. Till now, its the best tyre for me as a family car. comfort, low noise + safety on wet roads. you can get it from stamford tyres or poh heng.

very simple,end of the day it depend on individual intention to change rim size. For safety 14 inch more than enough For appearance 15 inch should be the one. But for appearance,Y would anyone want to buy a pica? Frankly speaking, Picanto 's outlook are quite nice. I think that's also why there are so many of it on the road. We are all here just trying to improve on it outlook right? I don't agreed with what u say man. You say it all right bro.... Appearance is one of the most important thing to any car , i would say.. Bro WhiteAngel , you see his car, chio bo... He done us Picanto member proud! And to Bro gavinamy1977 If appearance is not important to you, will u think of changing it to old version toyota charade . i believe it more stronger than picanto...

pcd 100, offset 45 shd be ok
get 5 or 5.5 inch width for 14 inch rims if you wana have 165/60R14 tyres (comfort tyres).
i found most in the market r 6inch width which is in the market. those r for 185/55R14 tyres which mostly are performance tyres

Actually charade's front is much nicer than our pica.. Our pica reli got a odd and short nose ..In terms of appearance, I kinda regret choosing it over getz and rio.. The only consolation is that FC is the best amongst. It's Daihatsu Charade lar ...... haha

Yap Bros ?
Think our moderator - Ben - had a pretty bad experience with them.
I also don't really favour them.
