[ssaloon]

205/45/16

the potenza series is more performance oriented.

[deathlance]

di kaya matagtag? ung 205/45/16 compared to 205/50/16

kung performance, looks, ride and kung anu mas quiet? my-01 or potenza?

also should i go 16" or 17?"

Performance and silence, mas maganda ang Grid III kesa sa MY01. Pero medyo mahal kung di ka naman mahilig mag-drive ng mabilis. Okay na ang MY01 pang-araw-araw.

What car?

naka g3 po ako sa jazz ko. ayos naman pero naiingayan ako eh

before gamit ko stock tires ng jazz goodyear i forgot eh.

size ng g3 ko is 195/50/16

after two years papalit na cguro ako 205/45

mas nagandahan ako sa falken azenis eh, masa tahimik pero mas mabilis ata maupod hehe

[deathlance]

ah maingay pla. ung my-01 kasi merun ako ngayun baka kasi mas maganda ung G3, pero ung my-01 ganda smooth ride di maingay, responsive nman both wet and dry.. my-01 na lang ako

mas maganda ba ung 205/45/16 di sya matag tag isip ko kasi 45 or 50 pero dami sabi 45 so baka 45 na din.. anu ba difference nung 45/50?

[niky]

205/45-16 will be about 4/5ths an inch shorter than 205/50-16.

205 is the width of tire. 45/50 is the % of width translated to the tire's height. 50 = sidewall that is 50% of 205mm, or 102.5mm. 45% is 92.25mm. A difference of about 0.4"

It'll definitely ride stiffer, not drastically so, but you'll feel it, for sure. I just changed from 195/50-16 to 205/45-16. Thinner wheels always means less protection from potholes... so you should be a little careful. But it's not very thin, and you can drive over almost anything. Just don't drive very fast over deep potholes.

[deathlance]

a lot of tsikoteers recommend the same 205/45/16 .. maybe i'd go the same na din, pero may someone explain bakit un ang gusto nila? is it because of the looks na din? para di mukhang balloon?

[niky]

Yup. Medyo low pro na siya, pero di pa sobrang nipis.

[deathlance]

well is there such a big difference in ride? 45 compared with 50?

mas comfy yung 50 series tires.

[deathlance]

how comfy? is there a big difference? or halos ganun din nman, kasi kung nde nman ganun ka noticeable ung difference or konti lang ang pinag kaiba, eh di 45 na.. para mas gwapo tama ba?

If you're not uncomfortable on 50-series tires, 45 will be okay. Mas pansin yung mga bumps, but it's not as bas as when you're riding on 17" 45 series because you're still using 16" wheels.

Depende lang talaga sa tsikot mo. My car has a stiff suspension and strong shocks, so it doesn't feel bad, even on 17's or even on these 205/45-16s. But on lighter cars, medyo mas malaki yung effect. Kahit change from 14" to 15" lang, ang tigas na nga ride ng Jazz.

[deathlance]

stiff ang spring and suspension ko, siguro di na nga masyado matagtag un...

[wilcats]

i use potenza g3s 205/45/16... m satisfied with it naman.. wla nmn ako reklamo


asked pla khapon sa bnawe, 4,600 isa na... last year bot em for 3,800 ea lng eh.. grabe tinaas hehe

[deathlance]

wildcats: btw san ka kumuha ng tires? eh mags??

[ssaloon]

ako gamit ko 225/45/17 pero medyo makapal pa sidewall niya kaya ok lang yung ride for me.

i noticed po na you skipped 215 and went straight to 225, mas ok ba ride pag mas malapad, hehe btw ang hirap po makahanap ng 16" na mags usually 17" na, ung galant mo po ba for everyday use?

[ssaloon]

mas gusto ko malapad kasi tindi ng wheelspin eh. mas maganda din tingnan.

dati everyday use. pero ngayon weekend/coding car nalang.

[deathlance]

wheelspin?? ah kasi pizza na ung service mo for everyday..
