is 245/60 too big for xtrail? kase takot ko if nag 245/50 ako baka sobrang lakas yun road noise. gusto ko lang maporma without sacrificing much in terms of ride quality and noise level. pls help. and also ano mga ok na tires ngayon. i had experience with toyo proxes and lemans b4. thanks

I've seen 245s on an xtrail (try to search cardomain.com) but you might have to sacrifice your turning radius.

baka 225/55 ka lang dapat bro. malaki ang probability na sasabit sa kabig yan pag 245/60

if 55 series malakas na ba road noise nun? or konti lng diff nya from stock na noise? thanks sa replies.

konti lang. and road noise would depend on the thread pattern also of the tire, not just the sidewall thickness.

235/50R18 best fits your xtrail...i know, because i have them in my car(falken ze512). Smooth, quiet and comfortable ride...because its actually a passenger tire. just follow your recommended tire pressure located in the door panel, i think.

boothchokoy: how much for your rims and tires?

eksss: any pics of your ride?

my mags cost around a 100k and tires for 26k. the tires you choose makes a big differences in terms of comfort ( if its made for off road use, then you will have a harder ride..because of the sidewall construction) but since you want a porma looks and ride and handling of a passenger car...then you should choose a passenger car tire. hope this helps...
