Yesterday, we change our car tires as it is wearing thin. Although there are plenty of good treads, the wife is concerned as we had slight skidding occurence before. So we change to Yokohama brand, made-in-Philippines. Yokohama has made-in-Japan and slightly more expensive. Unfortunately, it is out-of-stock.
We also decided to switch to 205/65 15. The tire is slightly wider and bigger than my current 195/65 15. Although 205 is more expensive, I wanted my car to have a higher clearance. The profile is very low and sometimes the speed bumps hit the superstructure of the car.
So far I am quite happy with the tires. The only complaint is it is slower to accelerate due to the greater resistance. The ride is more comfortable as the wider tires are better cushion.
