Need Advice: Tyre and Wheel Selection for Fiat Palio

[Italian Raider]

Hi Guys,

I'm Planning to change my tyres for my palio.

There are two different thoughts.

Shall i replace the Tyres with the same Spec?

Or shall i upgrade the tyres.

My current tyres are 165/80 R13. What i feel about the current tyre is that in highspeed cornering I'm not confident & Feel like swaying. but the Raid comfort & Suspension is good. I dont have the confidance in driving higher speeds & having a fear that the tyre may burst.

Brakes are good. The Car stops immediatly when i apply brakes.

My other concern is the ground clearence. i don't want low profile tyres.

What will be the cost of used alloys of 14"?

Please Advice me.

you can get used alloys starting from 8k but why you dont want to go for new ones??

I am keen on maintaining my raid in a mint condition. At the same time I don't want it to cut hole in my pocket.

I heared the new alloys are availab for a cost of 10-12K. Is it true?

Yes, the Chinese/Taiwan alloys can be bought for meager amount of 10k bucks too. However, its better to stick to Neo alloys if you are looking for budget alloys. You can purchase them for 13-14k bucks.

Yes, do not go for chinese ones. You can never be sure of how long they will last. Pick up Neo, it will suffice. You should upgrade tires too, that will improve GC a bit.

What about the PCD( Pith Circle Diameter) Will it be the same for all the cars with four Wheel Nuts Or it will differ?

185/65 R14 OR 195/65 R14 Michelin/Bridgestone

FYI Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 1 of 4

Upgrade to 185/65/R14

Around 8K. That the price I'm selling the alloys of my Siena.

BTW Fiats use 98 PCD wheels. However I used 100 PCD without any problem.

Thaks for the Link zengetz. It is very usefull for calculating the tyre size.

Now i have decided to go for a 185/65 R14 tyre. I need to save some money on buying tyres & Alloys together.

 

[zengetz]

No problem buddy. I have 185/65/R14 on my Getz too, I went for Yokohama A drives, so far I have no problems with it.
