capt morty Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Better to use a tire size calculator to know what's the best upgrade for your rim/tire combo without sacrificing speedometer accuracy. Recently upgraded from 205 65 15 to 235 40 18. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Thanks for sharing the link. Quote Link to comment
bmathay Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Bigger (wheels and tires) are not necessarily better, at least performance-wise. The weight (and additional rotational inertia) of those huge wheels work against acceleration, braking, and cornering, even with the additional grip they offer. I remember reading about a Genesis coupe that they were preparing for racing: they changed into smaller wheels (from 19 to 18 inchers). Quote Link to comment

johnlove Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Bridgestone one of the bestIt is the aftermarket ones that are good, the Bridgestone that comes with stock with your brand new cars straight from the casa are crap.

307 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 when you put bigger wheel and tires than the recommended size, then be ready for all forms of damage such as power-steering, alignment, chamber etc.... in less than a year. Quote Link to comment

centrino Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Honda Civic 97. Goodyear or Yokohama? Which is better? Michelin is an option Quote Link to comment
Pure_FR Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Bridgestone very durable. Had Michelins once and kept on getting a flat. My Goodyear spare tire warped after not being used for four years. Quote Link to comment
ENE Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If going for performance, Bridgestone. Value for money performance and durability., Dunlop. Quote Link to comment
PapaPopoy Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 nahihirapan ako maghanap ng 205/60.R16 para sa Lancer ko. Yan ang stock size na gulong. Ang sinasabi sa akin pwede daw 205/55/R16 or 215/60/16. Ano ba dapat mga bossing? Ano ang magandang alternative? Makakaramdam ba ako ng kakaiba kung sundin ko mga reco ng tire shops o hanap ako nung tamang size? TIA Quote Link to comment
