Tyres for Latio

[clarence]

I think the crash could be due to road condition, and the condition of your tyres since it has travelled 38,000km.

hi ALL,

I recently changed my 4 tryes to Dunlop SP Sport 300 195/60R15, per piece is $105 and I changed it at Hurry Tyre & Battery... so far I didnt read any review abt this so I thought I can seek anyone's opinion here... for me it is quieter on the road.. cant comment on the fuel consumption yet though...

I used to use Falken ze912 16 inch....abt 38K....my car skidded n banged the rd barrier twice..when travelling ard 70Km/hr..... so guys...dun save on tyres...I'm lucky to survive the crash.

Using yoko S drive now....anyone using it too?

Hmm... sounds surprised to me. 38K wasn't really extensive yet. I'm currently using this and same profile as you, and about 10k still good even at 90 km/hr on rainy days. Need to be more careful now.

Was it raining and you travelling near the road shoulder ? The road shoulder is quite dangerous esp when wet as there is always algae growing on it.

I'm using S Drive too. Really like the tires. Cuts through very well on puddles. Good on wet and dry. But i think the corner cutting of the tires caused the car body to be easily dirty. Also tires seems to be getting louder as it ages...

Ya...but 38K for this tyre was indeed below my expectation.... anyway...safety 1st, so dun hesitate to change or have this mentality to wait till xxxxxx milleage then change

Mine are 215/45/17 and are around 1.5 years old

Threads on the tires are still quite deep despite my driving habit haha

Alittle noisy when it ages yea but at least the grip is really good on wet and dry

I traded in my stock Toyo with rims around 38K to ZE912  195/60/15. 
Tested few times jam brakes in the dry & rain, the grip is a lot better than J50.
Maybe my rubber still new.

I changed my 195/60R15 ZE912 at 25K, cos the tread almost left 30% only, and yes it is acceptable in both dry/wet but too bad it cant stand the mileage-weared. One thing, the tyre seems abit soft over strips/road-joint at >60kph as the tyre always roll-sideway causing my steering to sudden-turn either sides.

Falken tyres have softer rubber coumpound and tend to wear out faster.

I noticed that a lot of people change to 195 instead of the Manual 185...

do u know what impact it has on our Latio?

I thought 195 means more contact and hence more friction and hence fuel consumption will increase and means that the car is not tuned to 195 but 185

enlighten please

not all Falken tyres have soft compound. mine Ze912 at 45k km still have about 30% left.
If you are referring to ST115, then you are correct.

refer to the first few pages of this thread, it is been said at the start of the thread, think about page 1 or 2. Btw, the tyre shop that i went to recommend to stay with 185 for stock rims as the rims are only 6" thick and the tyre will ballon out from the rims if use the 195.

Fam,

I think that is what I highlighted in my earlier replies.

Just look at Nissan Sylphy on '195' tyres using Latio rims and you will see that obvious and ugly bulge.
