Hello All,
Can you please help me with choosing the best wheel and/or tyre upsize for my Optra magnum? I'm currently using 195/60r15 Michelin primacy 3ST tyres. It's been over 30K KM with them. But of late they started noisy and there are some minor sidewall rots as well. So, thinking about going with a wheel upsize when I change my tyres next. The known low ground clearance led me to the decision.
My questions are
1. Is it really worth the upgrade going from 15 inch to 16 inch wheels by spending almost 40K for the wheels alone? (Or just stick with 205/60r15 instead)
2. I found that the best upsize is 205/55r16. In that case, should I go ahead with Michelin primacy 4ST or Yokohama Earth-1 or Yokohama BlueEarth-A or any other brands your recommend?
3. Can I expect improved handling and braking with this upsize?
Thank you so much for helping!
