October 22nd, 2012 08:18 PM #1Sa ngayong po eh 17" ang size ng aking rims and 215/45/R17 ang specs ng tires. Eh parang hirap humatak yung kotse ko dahil mabigat ang rims at parang madaling magdeteriorate ang suspension and steering dahil malaki ang rims. Ano po ang ideal tire size pag nagdowngrade ako papuntang 15s or 16s? Malaki kaya ang magiging improvement lalo na sa fc if pinaliitan ko ang aking mags? Salamat peeps!

October 23rd, 2012 09:55 PM #6I point you to the classic Miata.net Tire Size Calculator.
Tire size calculator
If you're downgrading to 16" the closest matching tire sizes are 195/55 R16 or 205/55 R16. You might have trouble sourcing the former tire size though.
Further downgrading to 15" the closest match is 185/65 R15.

October 24th, 2012 02:43 PM #10Downsizing won't net you any gain if your new mags are too heavy. There are some heavy-ass 15" rims out there that weigh as much as 17s.
When I'm shopping for lightweight rims, I bring a bathroom scale along with me, to compare them to each other.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
