since u r on 195/60/r15, would like you to share if there is odometer error? So which size is the best fit, 195/55/r15 or 195/60/r15 for Latio's stock rims?

Thanks

Sorry bro, can't advice you on that, as I  had changed all 4 tyres immediately after getting my 2nd hand latio, the ex owner had 4 different brands on 4 wheels  :scared:.

Personally, I feel 195/60/r15 is more comfy but again its my perference.

liewks:
It's interesting to see that F1 tyres don't look very "low profile" at all. Look at the big chunk of rubber on the comparatively tiny rims...

I understand what you're are saying. But am talking about the same model.. Like why didn't I go for 195 on the K415, but instead went for 185 for the K415.. Aquaplaning is better for the narrow tyre.

Having wide tyre is dangerous in a wet situation especially high speed thru a puddle of water when your car is light, and our latio is consider light. Prefer to match heavier car with  wider profile in such situation.

Like to share what I saw today. a car owner want to pump Nitrogen gas to his tyre. Without any support tool, the mechanic release the air of one tyre till the rim almost touch the ground. I look at the tyre side wall flex till so jia lat :nonod: then he pump the tyre up and repeat the cycle again  :scared:  you never know the side wall on that spot will have some crack and when it will fail when you drive on highway. :pray:

clarence:
Ying,

Should be fine. Tyre  sidewall is not that fragile. Rubber should still be supple if it is relatively new.
