Neilsen,
In general, most manufacturers undersize their cars' tires. The LiteAce should have bigger tires coz it's a minivan.
Anyways, try inquiring with Freddie's (750-4601). Look for Jerry. What design are you looking at ba? :mrgreen:

November 23rd, 2002 01:08 AM #44neilsen, i've seen a white liteace with rota velo wheels, it looks good. i would suggest you put 195/60 15's, or if you want 195/65/15's, imo, the 205's are too wide for the liteace, not to mention it will make steering harder, because it's wider. again, yung steering naman is only a problem if you're maneuvering in very tight spaces, and, parallel parking is not a problem for me, btw i have 195/60/15's.

IMHO, that design kase looks good in larger rim size like 17" . Saka the website of rota is not updated. Check out the shops na lang for new designs

tagal na yang site na yan... di updated. Even the Rota slipstreams na very popular ala pa sa website nila.
Go to west ave or P. Tuazon Cubao or Evangelista na rin and check out the new designs displayed. Dami ka makikita dun.

November 26th, 2002 04:51 PM #51well, usually, it's just a set of 4, however, if you'll remember on the kotse ezboard, they were selling sets of 5. a set of 5 15" wheels was going for about P12.5K. if you're buying from evangelista though, a set of 4 might go from P9-15K, depending on the design. and yes, they accept trade ins.

November 28th, 2002 11:56 AM #55Neilsen,
Bridgestone has Duelers that are 6 ply. I'm not quite sure about their size availability coz the 6 ply Duelers i know come in 205/70R15.
Anyway, why don't you try calling Jerry * Freddie's in Evangelista. He's very accommodating. Ask him what your tire options are for that tire size. At least, even if you don't plan to buy from him, you have a reference size/price/model in mind na.

February 20th, 2003 12:29 PM #58like what HBOY said, i'm also biased toward Bridgestone Turanzas. The Turanzas come in 195/60R15. The entry-level Potenza, the Potenza GIII comes in 196/55R15. Mas maganda yung ride ng 60 series, coz you have more sidewall. If I were made to choose between these 2, I'd say get the Turanzas.
Now, there is another factor to consider tho. What'll be the load your ride? You planning to carry lotsa stuff/people. If you do, you might want to consider light truck tires. They're more durable than car tires coz they can handle the additional weight.

February 21st, 2003 04:59 PM #60dude,
in that case pwede na rin yung turanza 195/60R15s. softer ride, better grip. downside is, they're probably not as durable as the 8 plies, but you shouldn't be worrying about them blowing out right under you at highway speeds, unlike the OEM Korean tires out there. the turanzas are definitely more durable than these naman.
how much heavier is a liteace than a 626, btw? :?:
