Hi guys..

Well I got Yokohama on now and I get 20 000km to a set and at R1600 each thats expensive. I went on to www.1010tire.com and was reading the reviews and TOYO came out tops.

Not even noticable.
Won't effect anything. lowers the car by about 5mm

Yeah, changing tire size will make such a small difference.

Smaller diameter tires have better acceleration, while bigger ones have higher top end speed. But again, unless you make a BIG change, it won't be noticable.

Just remember that the car std at 120kmh read 130kmh, now at 12km/h it will read about 118kmh.
