Visual Tyre Size Calculator

[DVT]

Hello all,

Planning to go for 4 new wheels and did a bit of reading on the net to see the ideal size.Found the below link that gives you a visual comparison of before and after changing the wheel sizes.

Thought of sharing with you guys.

Anyway my current tyre size is 175/70/14 and the vehicle is Nissan G10 (2004) and planning to go for 195/60/15.

What would you guys think. Will that look good on my car.

Thanks in advance.

Think it'll look good. Have you checked the tyre speed change %?

Think it'll look good. Have you checked the tyre speed change %?

2.4% greater than indicated

Thank you very much for the link. Recently got copped while doing 75 and the cop claimed I was doing 95. Couldn't argue because I have changed the stock wheels and tyres. Wish I knew at that time that my variance is only 2.7%.

Well, 75 was speeding anyway, so no harm done.

It will affect,

Fuel consumption.

ODO Meter/ Speedo meter readings.

May be the market value as well. I personally don't like to buy a car which its rim size has changed.

I have heard that it will increase the potential to have mechanical faults.

Looking for a better design ......

You know ...Looking at all the designs on the road....

For the time being settled with the design that comes with Toyota premio 2010 ..(design only)...It looks smart I guess.
