Hi all. I'm planning to change my stock 14" rims to 15". I roughly know the design of the rims I want (but not sure which brands are available for this specific design) but I'm unsure about tires I should use. Maybe either 185/55R15 or 195/50R15. And hence, the creation of this post. Mind giving some opinions on which one (and the brand as well) should I go for a comfort quiet ride?
Thanks in advance.
Myvi original is 175/65R14 so 185/55R15 is closer to your original diameter. 195/50R15 is slightly smaller.
Since you mention comfort quiet ride, 185/55R15 will have more comfort with 55 aspect ratio sidewall.
However if performance then 195/50R15 will be better. Wider pattern for more traction, 50 series for better handling.
