    Mga sirs,

    I have a 2002 super sports adventure, notice ko lang na medyo rough ride sya especially pag mabagal. Ramdam mo un kalampag sa dash board and other parts pero wala naman unusual sound o langitngit dahil may maluwag na parts parang ramdam mo talaga kahit small bumps o yung dugtungan ng kalsada. Compare ko sa friend ko 2002 gls parang smooth ride nya kahit sa humps. Difference lang namin e tires, 15" mags (stock ng adventure grand sports) with 205,65,R15 tires un sa kanya stock pa rin 14" 185,80,R14 tires. Pareho kami tire pressure. Effect ba yun ng tire mag difference namin o may problem na suspension ko o pang ilalim, di ko po alam? Help na naman po, 2nd hand unit po pala and newbie sa car kaya nun una ok sa kin pero nun nakasay ako sa gls ng friend ko parang mas maganda handling kahit sa curve smooth adventure nya. Thanks in advance.

    usually may difference, pero in the case of 14" and 15" rims, dapat wala. pero taking a close look at the two tires, yung isa 205/65/15 and yung isa 195/80/14, laki ng difference. dahil mas malapad yung 15 inchers. that can probably be the reason.

    or try muna lessening your tire pressure to see how your quality of ride will be.

    malaki ang difference ng 205/65 (sidewall: 134mm) versus 185/80 (sidewall: 148mm) with regards sa sidewall.

Adventure rough ride . . . advice po
