Best tire size and wheel size for Honda City 2016

[khun22]

Good day fellow tsikoteers gusto lang sana mag tanong kung ano pinaka saktong sakto tire size and wheel size para sa honda city 2016 na maporma parin pero little to no compromise na makukuha sa driving experience. May mga nabasa kasi ako na naapektuhan din ang mileage depende sa size ng wheel at tires tiyaka may mga macocompromise din daw sa driving experience na could lead to accidents daw ata di ako sure kung tama pagkakaintindi ko. Sa ngayon ang wheel at tire size ng city ko is 205/45 R17 yung offest diko alam ganyan na kasi yung size ng wheel and tires nung nakuha namen yung sasakyan. Malapit narin kasi kami magpalit ng tires so if ever isasabay ko narin yung pag palit ng wheels.

Go back to stock settings:
185/55/R16 or 185/60/R15.

The former will look better since the rims are bigger, but the latter will give you more comfort due to the larger tires. Either way you will get the standard mpg.

Imagine all the people living life in peace.

I see so going back to stock will give better driving comfort rather better mpg. Thanks

It depends. You are now on 205/55/17 wheels, 205 is a lot wider than 185 (stock), so basically there is more wheel resistance resulting to less mpg.

However, if you are using light weight rims then it is possible that you are getting better mpg than using stock rims, since stock rims are heavy though durable.

I see, so there are a lot of factors that can contribute to better mpg or lesser mpg. I'm not sure though if my rims right now are lightweight currently I'm usinf a Schumacher R17 rims not sure if it's an original or just copy of Schumacher rims. Btw if I may ask if I go down from 205/45 R17 to 205/50 R16 would there be a considerable improvement on mpg? Another thing that I think would be beneficial is that if I go down to R16 is that the prices for tires would be lower due to that lower size tires would be cheaper right?

Hi, its very complicated. Check this article, it should answer all your question. How Bigger and Smaller Wheels Affect Ride, Handling and Performance

One more advise, size 16 tires are hard to find, very few cars are running on r16. They are not available all the time unlike R15 tires.

Thanks will read the article, Oh I didn't know that R16's are somewhat a rare fin if ever I'll change tires and wheels I'll canvass some shops if they have stocks on R16 tires before changing to R16 wheels
