Tires

**bougartt** · September 6th, 2005 03:04 PM

Guys i don't know much about tires so i hope you guys could tell me the pros and cons of what i just did.

I recently (few hours ago) changed the tires of my Gen2 Crv. I got Good Year FORTEZA tires. They look noticably bigger than my stock. So what are the pros and cons of what i just did?

I have noticed that ride height has increased by i guess 2-3 inches and the ride itself got smoother.

Will my bigger tires affect my fuel consumption?

Hope you guys could help me out. Thanks.

i don't think so...

maybe if kulang/ sobra sa hangin yung gulong... it will affect your fuel consumption.

Bigger=heavier=higher fuel consumption due to weight

Bigger=larger diameter=lower engine speed=lower fuel consumption due to lower engine speed during cruising

=...konti lang diprensiya siguro... :D ...maybe 5% or less towards the negative, but livable if you keep your pressures normal/high.

baka Goodyear FORTERA, not FORTEZA.

and are your sure your ride height increased by 2-3inches? that's a very big increase. check the size of your new tires sa sidewall para malaman natin kung talagang mas malaki nga yung tires na nabili mo.

Shifting from standard to bigger tires means increasing engine load and therefore reducing fuel efficiency.

Sir Boybi yeah FORTERA pala ooops my bad. yep sir very noticable yung size difference ng tires eh. from a 96 naging 100.

what do you mean by "from 96 naging 100"? have you checked on the tire size printed on the side?

baka yung kapal ng goma ang sinasabi nya... (width x aspect ratio).

Old Bridgestone - 205/70R15 96t

Goodyear Fortera - 225/70R15 100s

1" lang ang difference sa height ng old and new tires mo. up to 1.5" siguro ang difference if we consider na gasgas na yung old tires mo.

yung 96T and 100S is the speed rating of your tires and have no relation to the size of your tires.
