Tyres! I upgraded to Potenza tubeless (on original rims) 165/60R12 and the difference it made to handling and braking was amazing. Cost less than 8k for 4 tyres. Tyre noise increased and performance drops a bit. Need to run it at 30 psi or above always (to reduce the drop in performance).
However, the good part is that it gives almost the same mileage on highways as the originals and since it has reduced profile, the car starts off from rest easily when a/c is on (the speedo error is close to 4%) - because of reduced effective diameter of the tyres.
However if you want comfort then opt for higher profile tyres |
