Gee2728: own that same year model of car for about a year, the best I ever did was abt 182km/h and the car was shaking like the world was coming to an end.

LMAO. Same here @ 130, but got new tires and got better result, I need a Germany car now. Benz or Audi

Just wondering if we could share common and uncommon signals drivers make on the road, expecially expressways and how to generally understand the car in front of you.

Let me start

If you are on an interstate dual carriage road in Nigeria and all the cars on the other side opposite you have their headlamps on in broad day light be careful they are probably warning you of danger infront.


Pls add yours let's educate ourselves

Doctor Please Help

I started have Stomach ache after i ate a peppery food and drank a can of malt on sunday 30th June, i eat a lot of pepper normally, so i didnt bulge but it got worse. i visited the pharmacy and was given some medication by tuesday it didnt subside but comes in cycles, cramps and leaves, i visted the hospital and the doctor gave me some drugs which am using right now (some yello tablets labeled Metro...., soliprax omeprazole 20mg, vitamox amoxicilline Gelules BP 500mg) i added blood capsule to it. Now today is thursday and i still not feeling that better i am a little scared, does it take longer to heal such an issue or do i go to another hospital. what the worst case? whats wrong with me or am i just being paranoid? do i stay off work for now?

commission for both, text or ping me

Siena: Lomo, you're giving wrong advice. The difference between 205/60x16 and 205/75x17 is a massive +87mm, or 13,34%. Way too much. The maximum permissible difference 2,5%. Those huge tyres are going to rub on the wheel arches if there are 4 adults in the car. The speedo's going to be so inaccurate, it might as well be disconnected. 215/75x16 are also good either, +77mm or 12%.

The ride will certainly be quieter, but handling will be WORSE. Raising the centre of gravity doesn't improve handling, the 75 profile tyres will flex when cornering even at moderate speeds. The 75 is the percentage of the tyre's width, in this case 205mm.

205/60x16 = 652mm.
215/60x16 = 664mm.
215/75x16 = 729mm!
205/75x17 = 739mm!

The tyre size the OP fitted as replacements are closer to the originals, and well within tolerance at +12mm / 1,84%.

205/75x17 tyres are NOT for regular hatch, sedan or estate cars. They're meant to be used on SUV's. Too thick and heavy for passenger cars. Fuel consumption will go through the roof too, due to the extra gearing, with a manual gearbox, the car will be awful going up hills, with automatic transmission, the shifts will be erratic due to the extra load the engine will see.

@OP, the sizes you've chosen are fine, the extra road noise is due to the extra rubber in contact with the road (10mm extra). Tyre pressures should not exceed 34 psi either, otherwise the tyres become too hard, and noise increases. I'm willing to bet your tyre shop has set the pressures closer to 50 psi.

Master I bow

Loll @ 50Psi. They are @ 40, tomorrow will reduce to 35Psi
Am grateful for all this free info, I have learned A LOT

Thanks guys.

@ siena what about 08 honda accord. What are the best stats for driving the express almost everyday (tyres)

lomomike: well sorry to say but the replaced tyres did little or nothing to add to better handling instead it only raised the ride height cos from experience and researches I conducted, the lower the ride height equals better handling, lemme give you the reason I said this. You said "I changed my Accord 2004 tires from 205/60/R16 to 215/60/R16." The 205 and 215 signifies the thickness of the tyre sidewall. 215 /60/R16 have larger sidewalls than 205/60/R16. If you had done a little research or asked a dealer with good knowledge of tyres and their dimension, he/she would had adviced you to switch over from 205/60/R16 to maybe 205/75/R16 but this means you will change your RIMs from 60/R16 to 75/R16 or "drum wheels" as its locally called. The reason why you would need the 205/75/R16 is because 205/75/R16 offers more grip on the road than 215/60/R16 and this translate to better handling. Ever wonder why sports cars have low profile yet hugely fat tyres? But if I were in your shoes, I would had gone for 215/75/R16 radial X sets of tyres, dropped my ride height, and then enjoy all the benefits of having a high ground clearance, same centre of gravity, better road surface grip, and slower cruising noise frequency and smoother tyre ride much thanks to 215/75/R16.

Oga I am seeing stars
This one na back to school Õoooº° , what does 75 stand for pls? The expense in changing both Rim and tyres will be 200k+ omo no be small money Õoooº°

viperman: 1. After changing the tyres the you go for Alignment and wheel balancing?

Yes I did

lomomike: there are different tyre types based on design criteria, season criteria, climate criteria, terrain criteria, performance criteria etc. These criteria when MUST be put into consideration before installing on any vehicle or else you will get some un-needed feedback/result when driving (ie. A tyre made for city/highway cruising will give a different result/feedback when installed on a track intended car and Vice versa. Ask your dealer what kind of tyres are best suited for cruising (that is if he/she is knowlegeable about those factors). BTW, why did you change to alternative tyre dimensions? Did you dropped the̶̲̥̅̊ ride height also to retain stability and ride handling? But bros I knw say speed sweet well well, there's a certain satisfaction abi na ecstacy one get after doin such speeds na another thing, pls don't over speed especially in Nigerian highways and if you must drive pls keep your car in top condition also be very vigilant and very alert. Drive safe. F®я more info on tyres check https://www.nairaland.com/1221229/thinking-getting-new-tires-read Thanks

Oga u too much! Am grateful for ur response, I changed the tires to 215 because in my mind I felt a slightly wide tire will give me better handling.

I stay in abuja and I like to move fast, but not over speed, anyone that knows AYA-ZUBA express will understand how wide and smooth the road his, my normal speed is 120-130max, but on buying the tires I decided to push up the speed just once, that's when I heard the noise

The tires are firestone, is there any info on the body of the tire that can help me understand it more?

Thanks

I changed my Accord 2004 tires from 205/60/R16 to 215/60/R16.

Now the issue is, once I approach 140-150km/hr the noise from the tire becomes much, really noticeable to me. No shaking of the car or steering wheel.

What could be the issue

please post pictures and what accessories comes with it

Thank God for no Loss of lives
