235/60r16 on xtrail

from stock 215/65r16, plan ko replace to 235/60r16.. same size sa stock tire ng old tucson...

if there wll be issues saan lang ba? i had computed the total diameter, and it is 0.10in taller but 20mm wider than stock (sorry for the difference in units...tinatamad ako mag convert from inch->mm/mm->inch) tires.

kung lalabas man sa wheel well, di naman ba masyado? how about handling and steering performance? weight--how heavy against stock? FC and rolling diameter naman siguro di masyado difference, since 0.10 inch bigger ang 235/60r16

i also considered that size for my xtrail since i find the original tires small. but i chose to install 225/70/16. taller and wider than the originals. i was trying to look for 235/65/16 which IMHO is the perfect size for the xtrail.

235/60/16 is also a near perfect fit for the xtrail. you will notice an improvement in handling (since this is wider) and performance since this is lower profile.

*alwayz_yummy. Matanong ko lang kung 2011 model ba yung xtrail mo? Isa sa mga choices ko kasi ang 2011 xtrail with CVT.

And to fellow tsikoteers, sa tingin nyo, ok na ba yung current model ngayon considering may issue na high FC ang mga dating model?

2004 po xty ko... t30 1st edition..

fro 2.5L , matipid sa long drives than everyday city use... t31 only comes in 2.5 2wd or awd.... both in cvt... siguro 1-2km/l more efficient than what i drive...

remember, may konting kabigatan ang newer xtrail...

di ba magkakaroon ng rubbing issues? ung 235/60r16 as i know stock size ng tucson,e...

mukhang maliit (diameter wise) nga masyado ang 215's... madalas kasi mag-wheel spin ang front tires on 2wd mode and napabaon ng tapak sa gas on start-up...(mukha tuloy ang angas ko...)

no rubbing issues with 235/60/16. i've seen a lot of xty's fitted with 235/60/16 since this is readily available (OEM size for rav4 and tucsons). i even saw an xtrail fitted with 245/70/16. masyado ng malaki. i think we can even go as much as 235/70/16.
