I had 165/70-R14 Goodyear tire (stock tires) in my AK12. I have recently replaced both front tires and replaced with 185/70-R14 MAXXIS tires. The shop owner asked me to have a wheel balancing after replacing tires. I drove in the expressway and felt that my car was consuming more fuel than previous times. Could anyone tell me the relationship between increasing of the tire size, wheel balancing and fuel consumption.
So I'm kinda eyeing on Ford Focus ST 2013-2015 YOM car with a manual tranny. What do you think about the choice? any specifics I should consider before purchase?
The EP71 keeps ticking along - great grocery getter/lane zipper but unsurprisingly a bit uncomfortable on long trips - few people asking if I'm selling it as well. In a quandary as to let it go or not and what will be the replacement for a beater?
