Cannot find the J50 specs for the tyres I wanted. Closest match is a 195/60/R15 spec. Not sure any bros here did that and if can share pic
was worried on 2 aspects. 60 being a bit low. 195 being too bulging.
Appreciate any sharing of info

I have seen a Latio on 195/60R15.
It fits but the tyre bulges out from the rims a little.
Not a problem if you don't mind the looks.

I am using this profile, no bulging at all

Hi! I'm using 195/65 R15, which is even higher. But no issues - did not notice any bulges at all! :thumbsup:
According to my SE, 195/60 R15 is very common size for Latio coz of better grip compared to 185. So i dun think it's any issue using it. As you can see, i even went for a slightly thicker one at 65 for a bit more comfort. Been using it since July 2008 and no problems at all.

hmm... hw abt the ideal size for 16" and 17" rims?

I prefer the tyre to bulge out from the rims, rims are less likely to scratch the curbs

When you see tyre bulge out, it time to go pump pressure. :glare:
Nowadays tyres usually have rim protector to protect your rim, but if the force impact is great, it won't help much too. :bleh:

Was on 195/60R15 on the stock rims. 2 issues
1st - it did not look too nice
2nd - the ride was way too bouncy
Now on 16" 205/50R16 and the feels more stable. :thumbsup:

How is your fuel consumption on 205 compared to stock 185 tyres?

This will result in incorrect / inaccurate speedometer reading.

after using this calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html i think quite ok for me to go with 195/60 R15 tyres since the difference is so marginal.
But still hope some bro can share pics.
-
Yes, 195/60R15 is highly recommended over 195/65R15.

Currently still running on mineral and the FC hovers ard 12+km/l But if travel more on highway can easily achieve 14 - 15 imho.

Hi, jz to share for those who want to keep your 15" rim...
Jz change to k415 195/60R15
Look: better compare to stock with a little bulge out which i dun mind.
Noise: quieter than stock and can feel the comfort as well.
Grip: good that make my pickup abit slower and corning is much stable ;D
Need to do some mod to improve the pickup.... :devil2: any recommendation??
Hi, above is my personnel opinion and compare to stock
still awaiting to try on wet road.
Overall : Good

If u du want to upsize rims to 16" or 17" but want better stability and grip on the road then u got no choice but to use 195/60/R15....

Was thinking of this model for my next set of tyres, care to share how much you paid for them?
Do keep us update on the performance on wet road.
Thanks

IMHO 195/60/R15 contact surface is only less than 1 cm broader than 185/65/R15, the wall of the tyre is also less than 1cm smaller than stock specs
IMHO, users of 195/60/R15 (assuming J50 if ever one was produced) should experience less than 1% of stability increase. Also pick up should be less than 1% in defficiency
IMO users who experiences significant increase in stability or inefficiency in pick up are more likely due to material, design and build of the tyre, such as increased in side wall stiffness, tyre compound etc etc, never the numeric size of the tyres.

True, but u can choose the brand of tyre.
Of cos u can choose the brand of the tires that is to your liking...
But to me, my hankook V8 is still performing very well even travelling for over 38k.... moreover now hankook having 32% off theirr tires if u change 4. so per piece for 195/60/R15 optimp K415 after disc is $81...

Im currently on K415 195/60R15 tyre.
Notice that i have travel 255km when reach half tank.
Used to be around 150 to 180 when reach half tank.
will be monitoring the mileage for another 2 tanks.
Qn 1: Since this profile is -1% difference, how will it affect our mileage meter???
Qn 2: How to calculate my FC with this new profile??
Any bro using 195/60R15, please advise...
Thanks

I also manage to get around that mileage with my 205/50/ZR16 V8...
But how do you calculate the FC?
Would it be the same as stock size?
Example 1 tank travel 380km
but after changing tyre 1 tank 480km
Does it mean my mileage go faster??
Im abit confuse about it....??

Been taking note for my FC since the change from TOYO 185/65/R15 88H to Bridgestone ER30 195/60/R15 88H on stock rims. Still got similar FC. Full to 3/4 mark is 130km, 1/2 mark is 300km, 1/4 mark is 440km and till the reserve light is around 560km. Using Shell 95. So this should answer your question already. Cheers.
