Tyre Palava, Pls Advise by thaqib(m): 1:25pm On Aug 23, 2016
I use a camry 2000 which came with tyre size 205/65/15. I however recently need to change 2front tyres and a little cash crunch. The man at the alignment and balancing workshop said I could do 195/55/15. That's cheaper. So my question is will it not affect the car dynamics. Of course, I would do balancing and alignment after putting the tyres. What is the difference between the 2 tyres sef

But if its 195/55 Ehn,if u like,go and do the balancing on the moon,e nor go matter

If you are buying a new tyre, once the rim size is the same, the difference in width and length price is sometimes non or negligible. Example if chukuma says 195/65R15 is 10,000 then 205/65R15 would be same price or 500naira difference. It's only 255 with higher rim that are always expensive

go for 195-70. its same ratio with 205-65 and cheaper too, thats if you MUST go away from manufacturer's spec.
you ll have more options to choose from.
195-65 will be next in line.
For a camry, 195-55 will be way too low.
Hope ur shocks are good oh.

HE IS WRONG THAT 195/55 ISNT AMONG THE TYRES DESIGNED FOR YOUR CAR. GO TO THE LINK BELOW AND SEE THE TYRE FOR YOUR CAR.
U MAY CLICK ALTERNATE SIZES TO DISPLAY OTHER OPTIONS IF IT AINT DISPLAYED.

Chai! Just seeing this one. Have been at work. In fact I didn't edit what I had earlier posted. No, the guy said I should buy 195/65/15. NOT 195/55/15. apology for my mistake. I don't want to slap anybody unfairly o. But I have taken the pieces of advice.
Thanks peeps..
