The tyres were from Korea. I saw one made in China when they are installing... so I did told them.
Try Comfort delgro at bradell... they should have a set there with 185 65 15

I verified this with engineers at Nissan, common science, and common sense, and google results....

your engineer at nissan is from tan chong or the engineer from japan? So to u those who upsize their rims and tyres to wider size all dun have common sense right? Thanks for that comment abt common sense and abt those tyre shop that u say the "CON" people into upsizing...
To me the word "CON" is very uncalled for. Its up to individual to believe what the shop people say and not like that "CON" u into something inferior....

I also did a check with local distributor where they got supply tyre to hurry tyre and their reply is NO. So i can safely save that your "New" tyres are not from local distributor and should be from Hyundai Avante cos even if hurry tyres were to parrallel import the tyres in the wun be just bringing in 2 sets... Please check the country where your tyres are made in and let us know....

I hope Hurry Tyre did not sell those "take off" tyres that Avante owners traded in, as brand new ones.

I used the word CON because they were not honest enough to tell you all - They tell u can use a different profile tyres and they have done a lot before and they were no complaints, and that it is "OK". BUT they never tell you the set backs and draw backs if you were to use a different profile. Hence CON.
However, they did not lie and tell untruth.... just did not tell you the whole truth - just part truth. I felt CON. (It is a feeling word.... )
Sorry brother, My english not very good - like AH SENG in subaru and cannot accentuate well ... so I will end up suntan in Sydney. ;D... instead.
Tan Cheong engineers and Nissan engineers... to me they are professional enough to tell me the whole truth... they did say " Can change to a different tyre profile, but there are compromises, fuel consumption, ride etc, vs grip etc. If you want to change the tyre profile, please go ahead" I have informed you
This way, I as a consumer knows both side, and not just "no problem, I have changed a lot of Latio, can one lah... dun;t worry".
With this.... I wish to end this discussion from me. I will not respond further as I felt that in my sharing of my experiences and the researched I have, my words (CON, engineers from Nissan vs Tan Cheong, common sense etc) have been taken out of context , and missed the MAIN picture and the MAIN point.
There will always be people out there that insists on bigger tyre profile is better and they have done their own research and asking. There are also a lot of people out there that may not know the differences and the possible drawbacks- I just want to highlight the case ....
... so that we are AWARE.... ;D
It is the same sharing that people will say rolla is better than Latio, or Cont cars are better than Jap cars... and so on and so forth... lah...
Please.... all in good faith (unless you are a tyre dealer...)
