[QUOTE="green, post: 2967368, member: 11722"] website calculations normally for general rule of thumb only. best to change if u feel uncomfortable/or performance out while driving...especially in the wet lower profiles will enable u to "feel" the roads more...but at the same time noisy a bit. also depends on the tires brands u are getting. best bet..get the same profiles. eg. 215/45/17 ft and rear I am using yoko advan neovas ad07 215/45/17 frt n 235/45/17 rear...no problems performance tires = some sound/road noise tire sizes will play a part in fuel economy/looks/pricing/performance if u are the gila type...performance tires 17 " also good enuf...18" will cut out a bit on your fuel consumption..engine has to work harder to drive ur 18 wheels. performance tires will give u better grip on the roads..but will be expensive...yoko ad07/toyo t1r ~ rm500/piece for 215/45/17..go figure heh normal road tires non performance will be cheaper toms bangsar good, sunway sports cars area also good. falken, the yokohama shop near n1 sunway also ok. my advice...start small 17 with normal tires...215/45/17 all around...this is the standard oem size for altezza. or get into a gathering with the altezza gang then discuss with them cheers [/QUOTE]
