bumbklaatt SG Hey... My lancer glx cvt comes with 185/65R14 for the tyres... I know that the last 2 digits (14) means that it's a 14 inch. Correct me if i'm wrong here. But what does the rest means? cheers,
ditzy SG '185' is the width (where the tread is) in mm '65' is the aspect ratio, or tyre profile or sidewall 'R' means radial construction
ditzy SG The profile (or height of the sidewall) is expressed as a % of the tyres width. For example 185/65R14 means that the tyres profile or sidewall is 65% of 185mm (width). A low profile tyre is generally 50 or below and down to as little as 35 in the ultra low profile segment. The advantages of low profile tyres is that they give you greater control and better handling when cornering, however the trade off may be a slightly harder ride.
ditzy SG That means on rough roads, your a$$ is going to feel a little more sore, and your spine a very more tingly. Know what it feels like to jump up and land with your knees straight? Yeah, feels something like that.
bumbklaatt SG Hhmm... ouch! How do i know how much or what's the max that my lancer can take? I mean like for eg, can it take a 17" rims?
IcedLemon SG Try out 205/45/R17 very nice and fierce looking but u got to modify ur suspension coil a bit. I done tat b4 n it looks really good but really a hard ride.
stylistic SG If your original rims is 15, i believe u can go for the 17”. I once took a customer’s 323 out for test drive, and it feels funny. The original rim is 14”, but the driver changed it to 17”. No doubt it looks great, but the handling is akward.
IcedLemon SG Aft spending so much $ to buy a car of coz must make it look swee lar. Those gals out there will ...wow....... but tat wow will at least cost u 1.5k - 2k.
