205/50r16 tires and set up for 3rd Gen Toyota Vios 1.5G Manual

**Dusty** · February 3rd, 2016 03:38 PM

Good afternoon mga bros..

2014 Vios G Manual

About to change my tires, halos pantay na ng indicator yung upod.. Planning to replace yung stock rims and tires with 205/50 r16.. Ang concerns/situation ko are the ff:
1. Around 4-5 persons sa 1 1/2 hr trip (qc to makati).
2. Medyo madami mga humps na nadadaanan.
3. Occasional trips sa province (2-3 persons) 3 hrs up yung travel

As mentioned.. ano pong brand ang mapapayo nyo? ang after ko sa tires yung better grip sa wet and dry (vs stock yokohama), durable (di bubukol, sumasabog at mabilis maupod) and matino ang price..

Btw, should I go 16s, okay lang ba na di magpalit ng springs and shocks? if ever magpalit ako, ano po magandang set up, e.g. (KYB Excel G + TEIN/EIBACH etc.)? Habol ko lang bale almost stock ang comfort, kahit slightly lowered, and di sayarin..

My apologies sa haba at dami ng tanong.

Thanks so much..

Plano ko rin magpalit ng wheel & tires. Problema lang, mahirap maghanap ng "16 tires & alloys. From 15, 17 na ang susunod. Ang ayoko naman sa 17s, matagtag at mabilis masira suspension (under warranty pa sasakyan ko).

sa tires, medyo mahirap hanapan.. pero may mga available.. pero sa alloys.. madalas ng magandang design nasa 17 and 18 yung available na size.. kaya napili ko yung 16s kasi baka di ganun kalaki ang difference sa ride quality ng 15s.. kaso di ako sure kung sayarin ang 205/50 r16 na profile..

just dont get China or Taiwan tires. no offense po.
Indonesia/Malaysia/Thailand/Philippines is ok. Low end yoko matagal maubos but not that grippy at maingay. Dunlop sticky pero mabilis maubos vs yoko.
Bridgestone most recommened dahil tahimik, grippy and durable.
problem nalang ay rare ang 16s para sa car :D

had a vios with 185/65R15 on stock rims, hindi ganun kaporma tignan pero panalo sa pasahero at sa lubakan.

from 15, wala naman halos effect if you convert to 16 dun sa load mo and dun sa humps. hwag ka lang magpa lower.
just make sure that you use the correct rim offset.
