Tyres ...
Moderator:Neo
Well guys i just got to know that my problem was not because of the rims, it is because of the tyres, as i know that since the tyres had the production date rubbed off, they were not brand new tyres...
i got to know this after getting my car wheels balanced, the same tyre was not balanced properly for the second time, and that is because of the tyres... most probably, if you guys think that there could be some other problem do let me know ??
now i've got a budget of AED 650-700, and m looking for tyres sized 205/40 for my 16" rims
would like recommendations of good tyres and non risky tyres ...
Thank You

very good budget !! i was running 215/40 16rim , not a very high performance type , but i love it cause it is cheap !!does this size fit your too ? cause 205/40 16 , it is a bit hard to find : Yokohama Parada Spec-2,Dunlop Direzza DZ101 !! i know only this 2 for now , they are good types , but not sure they have stock !!
well m not soo gud with the tyre stuff, so m not sure if 215/40 would fit ....
i've got 16" rims as well, but the tyres m using right now are 205/50
i wanna make then thinner (more low profile)
and jus for daily run ...
and the budget is for all the four tyres

you may want to take a look at these , and you can use the tyre size calculator , to find out what tires size can fit yours !!

i highly suggest you should not change the size , unless you know what you are doing !!if you really want to change the size , then you better read the link above completely , i don't know what is your stock size , but 205/50 16 replace by 205/40 16 , the reading of your speedo is no longer correct , the car will be lower because the wheel are samller now , and the gear ratio has also change to shorter !!
a set tires with the thin sidewall ,such as 35,40,45 ,probably won't cost less than a 1000dhs !i don't know , i just never heard of it !!
