Go to the link below and enter your stock tyre size and the size which you intend having and see if it's ok. There are factors to consider such as how much your speedo will go out. The link will give you all the info. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI4120 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 For optimum perormance and look : 185 - 55- R15 : 185 width makes ideal grip (not too much and too litte) and 55 aspect ratio makes a good cusion for our bumpy roads and 15" radius rim will look fantastic !

Komisiripala Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) After going through that tyre size comparer, I went down to195/55/15. There's a noticeable difference Car sits lower. Accelerates faster. Power steering is less impeded. Not ashamed to admit I was a tyre noob. Learned the hard way. If the manufacturer specified something, do a lot of research before you try to better it Edited October 9, 2012 by Komisiripala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manufacturer specified something, do a lot of research before you try to better it Running on 195/50/15 in my EK3 There is a slight offset on tires and when there is full load the rear tires brushing the wheel arch. I guess It's all about the alloy wheels. All my friends telling me that the wider tires have impact on fuel economy which I didn't noticed yet.

H.C Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I dont think it affects fuel economy much. but it gives great grip compared to stock 65/75 profile. Last week i traveled to badulla with 3 adults from Horana in 3hrs 45mins (it was the quickest of my all trips to badulla) and still gave me 13.5kmpl. Most important thing for me was no exsessive tyre noises when cornering and had great grip in both wet and dry conditions Edited October 10, 2012 by H.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
