Is it ok to have different tire size for FF car?

[desmond0318]

Good day all sifu, my car quite fully loaded these days, was planning to change the tire's height, these might sounds weird for example
front:195/50/15 rear195/55/15 or
front:195/50/15 rear195/60/15

Will there be any problem for FF if overall driving style will be in concern dry,wet,speed,corner and bumps.

Thanks for precious opinion :cheers:

Hmm not sure what's your reasoning to have such setup just because the car is fully loaded. Is it because the rear becomes too low?

 

[desmond0318]

yea bro, rear kinda heavy can slightly felt steering harder to turn after fully loaded..

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

first....195/60 can fit into your wheel arch or not? :hmmmm:

What's your original tyre size? Just change to stiffer springs? The only car that sinks down if fully load at the rear that I know of=f is Saga BLM

Changing to thicker wall tyres will not prevent the car from sinking down. In fact might even scrub your car fender if tyre size just fit nicely.

Maybe just get some stiffer springs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fuuh! spoken like sifu....:top: Yup, if car is sinking mod your springs instead, not higher profile tyres

Even if you do, do not have too much difference in aspect ratio like 50 and 60. 50 and 55 then okay.
Also try to get same brand and model of tyres. This way the traction rating will be same or at least close. Normally 50 and 60 series tyres are different as 50 series are performance and 60 series towards comfort.

Actually i wanna raise the car's ass slighty higher, i like raising ass but slighty not over XD
Recently notice ecopia ep200, at that price for overall tire thread and sidewall is quite good for dry and wet. How u think about this tire bro?

Sorry bro, i have bad review with this sort of product last time, if 1 side gets harder than the other side driving in rain is like a titanic's pilot jk jk

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

If it is already stiffer can't be sinking down...unless the spring is really worn but springs usually last long time. My corolla springs till date stock for 9 years still good and car never sink. What springs u changed? Maybe try some aftermarket springs instead?

If not just go for adjustable a heheh! : biggrin:

It's only 300kg++ inside the boot, but not sinking so much, about 1 finger only.. Is hard to drive cause steering harden abit, some lorry drive told me is about tire pressure, when heavy load the rear should pump more air than the front, so i think instead of air why not try with tire's height.. just some stupid idea came on mind

As mentioned earlier, if using 195/50 and rear 195/55 then okay. If rear want to use 195/60, front then 195/55. I am only afraid 50/60 front/rear the handling difference too much.
Moreover try to get same model of tyres then grip factor also same.
BS Ecopia are entry level Eco tyres....

Yup, the spring buffer for me also not much effect....

Thanks bro, i'll try to arrange a front 50 back 55..
I think the BS ep200 looks more alike potenza or turanza design already, im kinda suprise eco tires with that thread, block and sidewall

Actually if just want to increase the ride height a bit, can insert rubber between the top of the shock mount and the car's body. The rubber can be made from several layers of used tires pressed/glued together and cut to the desired shape with mounting holes for the bolts. This can increase by about 1-1.5cm, but you need to change the mounting bolt to longer ones to accommodate for the rubber thickness. I've done this before for my previous car in Indonesia, but I don't know if anyone has done it here.
