I have a Scion IQ mini car. OEM is 175/60R/16. There's only one tire made in that size Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max. They're super expensive, $1K set of 4. Years ago I used tire size calculator.185/55R/16, less than ¼" smaller diameter and fit perfectly. Bought Sumitomo $325 set of 4 and they have 30K mi and tread looks like new.

I own a mazda 3 automatic that came with 205/60R16 and I have an issue with my gearing ratio where the car does not downshift on the highway when I have to slow down and speed up again (for eg. coming up behind a slower vehicle ahead of me and then having to accelerate to pass the car). It stays at 5th gear and does not downshift to 4th. I asked the mazda dealership and they told me the gearing software is set for fuel economy and thats why it does not downshift in those situations. So I have to manually downshift to get the acceleration. would getting an overall taller or shorter tire diameter help?

I was planning to change tires for Avanza G 2024, for more height without changing the mags., stock: 195/60 R16 to 205/65 R16. Is this ok?

I have questions more about suspension and transmission wear and tear when it comes to changing tire size

[@RustyCar]

I’m currently researching wheels & tires to upsize from 18x8.5, for all four stock set up, to 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 staggered set up. In the research I’ve done so far, especially with today’s driving systems, is that the circumference between front & rear should only differentiate by about 1% +/-. Meaning the speedometer needs to register correctly. What I’m leading to is that with the newer technology, car computers can be adjusted to reflect a new set up different than original factory set up. Transmissions can be reset so it can learn ‘driving habits’ therefore I would think this would also include a different tires and/or wheel set up. Suspension system, not too sure on. I’ve been alerted, since I want a wider rear wheel, that too much difference can lead to a strain on the hub, the bolts/lug nuts, and being wider can interfere with suspension parts. Thus offset becomes important. There’s a lot to research and ask any professionals you can.

My daughters 2021 Chevrolet Trax LS FWD has 205/70/16 tires. I have been searching for this size in a winter tire but have had no luck. I was told I could safely install 205/65/16 winter tires with no issues. Is this indeed true?

i have a 2001 RAV4. the stock tire is 215/70R16. can i downsize to 215/65R16?

[@richardhannay7105]

@@Z88.88Z no reason why you shouldn't be able to downsize, your speedo would be a little off, but nothing major

[@fernando_h_001]

I would say it's ok but check the site tiresize.com that is what i use to check all my sizing

[@victorherrero4790]

Thanks for the video. One question, I have a 2023 Base Trim new Prius model. The stock tire is a. 195/60 R17, can i change the tires for a 205/50 R17?

[@fernando_h_001]

Thanks for watching, I would use the site Tiresize.com and then compare the size you want with the size you have and it will tell you if the sizing is correct.
