205/50R16 tyres

If your priority is road noise, ie. a quiet tyre, I am surprise dthat you chose such a wide tyre - 205/50R16.

Stock size 185/65R15 will offer you the most comfort.


The Japan made Goodyear LS2000 Hybrid2 with its Noise Volume Reduction rubber compound should meet your requirements for a quiet tyre. $138 each.

I bought the car 2nd hand, and it already comes with this profile. Is it possible to downgrade back to 185/65R15?

205/60R16 tyres make your actual speed 1.6% faster than the actual speedometer reading

You can always ask around if any new Latio buyers intending to upgrade tyres and rims want to sell you their stock rims and tyres. $400 excluding labour is reasonable.

Ying:
you can look for a tyre feature that helps protect the rim, higher profile (like stock) is better if you "hit curbs at least once a week."
