Latio Tyre... Should change to bigger tyre?
« on: December 04, 2008, 05:14:23 PM »
Hey guys,

any advise if i should change to a bigger tyre for my Latio Sport? Latio is using 185/65 R15 by default (if i m not wrong).

HEard from TCM that my wheel alignment warranty will be void if i ever change to different size tyre, something like that....

What is your view guys?

Don't hear your SE bullshit lah.. Most of the Latio owners I know (including myself) changed their Latio stock tyres to 195/60 R15 and went back to their servicing centre without any threat about voiding warranty.  These kind of things must talk to the Service Centre Manager, those SE's know nothing one.

if upgrade to 195, will it cause the FC to get worst?  :confused1:

What aspects of handling have improved?

Cornering?

High speed stability?

Let me do some wild guesses :

1) Backside itchy
2) Too much spare cash
3) Temptation
4) A need to change due to too many scratches and dents
