    Hello all crosswind enthusiasts.

    An XTi xwind model uses smaller tires (205/65 R15) while the XUV and Sportivo uses larger ones (235/70 R15). Am still unfamiliar with things like this but am curious if its possible to change the wheels and tires or an XTi to make it similar to that of the XUV/Sportivo?

    If it is possible, what are the pros and cons? Magastos ba?

    Thank you.

    the difference between the xti and the xuv version is that the latter version has a body lift. it increases the space between the body and the tires. so, bigger diameter tires could be fitted.

    i don't really know if the xuv or the sportivos' would fit your xti. maybe you could bring it to your suking tire shop and try one on if they have that size in stock

    Lifting and placing the big tires from a Sportivo model will affect overall stability and handling. Perhaps you can look into getting the Sportivo rims then adding wider tires (but not taller).

    karamihan ng naka XUV/sportivo gusto magpalit sa mas maliit/mababang gulong kse matalbog, ikaw baligtad ehehe. Kahit ung sportivo namin, matalbog kahit bawasan ko ng hangin ung mga gulong, madalas kse ako lang or isa lang kasama ko sa sasakyan, pero walang gaanong difference kahit anong bawas ng hangin gawin ko

    Don't go up in size. Kagaya ng sabi ni mhelskie, matalbog ang tires ng XUV. And it's less stable on the highway than the XTi due to those tires.

    Safety before porma...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
