May slight difference kase hinde maintained ang total outside diameter. Sportage stock: 235/60/16 and Sorento: 235/65/17 if I'm not mistaken.
So, merong almost 2 inches na dagdag sa diameter.

I'm more concerned on the decreased acceleration due to the added weight.

Okay ser gets ko na, akala ko talaga walang diff sa total Outside diameter.

Dapat pala ser pati decreased deceleration concern ka rin, brake heat, added fuel consumption, reduced range, etc... pero gwapo naman auto mo ser... hehehe yun nah.

Ser Jan2X yes thats true may konting increase sa acceleration time mo by a few tenths of a second.... pero pag full boost na turbo mo at 1800rpm onwards halos negligible na yun. Tama din ser TogaLock pati braking distance mo may slight change....ten madali ka lang din mag adjust sa driving styke mo to cope wth those changes. Kung gusto mo talaga Sorento mags/tires I can consider selling mine. Mine's only at 7T km ODOMeter ...Hehe.

Planning to nuy either the sportage diesel or sorento diesel

Which has the better deal?

5 seater Sorento na lang. Bang for the buck.

May turbo na ba yung Gen2? I'm sure di pa VGT, so baka waste gate? Anyway, di ko ramdam if meron man, heheh.
About the sorento mags/tires, sayang naman, kakakuha ko lang ng 4 na yoko geolandar ht/s over the weekend. Haiissssttt... oh, well. PM mo price sakin, para dumoble panghihinayang ko, heheh.

with VGT turbo CRDi ser ng Hyundai/Kia's... ako na lang PM mo magkano mo nakuha Sorento wheels/tires?

kahit yung model before the latest, VGT na? hmmm...
Yup, I opted to stick with the Sportage's original wheel size. As for the Sorento mags/tires, may nakita lang ako online kaso malayo samin kaya di ko na din pinursue.

Also went to check out the sportage diesel and the base 4x2 AT sorento. 30k difference lang ung 2.

Sorento is bigger so roomier inside. better flood fording too. But don't know how good or bad the sportage is in this aspect.
Sportage has drl, parking sensors, side mirror repeaters. Not sure what else.
Interior may plus din sportage as sorento looks bare but okay din overall.

Planning for test drive din to see the difference in speed, handling and ride comfort.
