btw, I installed Hankook tyres - best tyres in Korea (I went there and all were driving Hankook).
It is cheap at $75 per pc compared to Toyo $95, BStone or Yoko $110 to $120....

What is the Hankook tyre model that you changed to? Which shop?
$75 is an excellent deal!

i also just installed hankook K415 195 60 r 15 yesterday - my first tyre change actually.
my stock tyre is only 27k (1yr 8mth) but i activated ABS twice this week because of the wet weather nowadays. :nonod:
service at toh guan is excellent - 30 min nia even though i have somebody in front of me. The new tyre are much much better than stock, although havent really try on rainy days yet but at least when i turn in carpark dun have the damn screeching sound!
overall money is well spent and i feel safer already. :thumbsup:

Pls if u have time go to tyre shop to ask them y need to upsize tyres and rims and see what they say..

I think you are getting it all wrong....
The tyre shops will want you to upsize cos they can charged more... and hence they will tell you all the reasons to do that... reasons that you have just quoted above.
Look into your car manual - if up sizing is recommended ?
Latio manual did not indicate... the people that know BEST are not the one that sell the tyres but the ones that make the car... so refer to your manual...
btw... I only share my experience - everyone have their own way of doing up the car (or down the car as the case maybe).
I believe in the one that make the car - their specs.... and I would not want to deviate from it.... that's all

Hankook is good so far... but your profile is not the recommended profile by the manual / mfg 185 85 R15... it would be interesting to record and note the FC.... let us know ok.
thanks

185 85 R15 at Hurry Tyre at Serene center Bt Timah road.
The agenet for Hankook got no stock and insist that 195 60 R15 can fit, lucky I checked the manual and the engineers at TC to verify,......
