    Mga bosing I have a friend who bought a mazda 323 with size 14" 195 tires

    ano mangyari kung gawin niyang 185 yung tire width ng front niya tapos 195 pa rin yung sa likod, magkakaproblema ba sa handling

    may sobrang minimal effect lang sa handling, pero other than the car that looks a little bit funny, i don't think may other effects yan.

    Is it your friend or you? Does not matter. Anyway, so you/friend want your car to be staggered. Not a bad idea which is good like my audi A6. I have 19" Rim w/ 235/35/19 tire on the back and 18" Rim 225/40/18 tire on the front.

    In your case, use 195/45/14 rear and 185/50/14 on the front. The cons of this setting is you cannot rotate your tire.

    officemate ko po, sentra po ride ko with stock tires

    nabili niya kasi yun with 195 tires na pero upod na yung dalawa sa rear balak niya paliitin yung tires niya sa front for better steering kaso lang maganda yung mags niya ayaw niyang palitan kaya one size smaller lang ang balak niya which is 185



    thanks sa mga advice

    Having newer tires in front can lead to snap-oversteer in emergency situations. Having newer tires in the back can lead to a little more understeer.

    I'd prefer having the newer tires in the back.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Staggered wheels are improve the grip of the rear wheels this is an A plus for a rear wheel drive car. The reasons is your putting more grip on the rear for better take off, better control on the rain, turn even in slippery road condition still, CAUTION is a must. Most European car using staggered to perform better on the street or on the track.

    Here is your wheel calculation:

    Rear wheel
    195/45/14
    Side wall----------3.5in.
    Radius------------10.5in.
    Diameter----------20.9in.
    Circumference-----65.7in.

    Front wheell
    185/50/14
    Side wall----------3.6in.
    Radius------------10.6in.
    Diameter----------21.3in
    Circumference-----66.9in.

    This is a perfect setting. Go for it!
