Hey guys!Need some help here.

Have booked a cruze ltz and expecting the delivery this monday. The tyre size is 205/60/R 16. Had almost finalized on the yoko avs dbs till I chanced upon this thread. Somebody, please tell me if the Yokos are better as compared to the Turanza ER60.
My main need is good ride quality and will also be doing moderately high speeds (understatement!). The yokos are available in 215/60/ R16 as the 205 is out of stock!.

Somebody please advise soon so that I can have a good night sleep!

Thanks in advance,

Rajiv

You won't go wrong with either, but my sense is that Turanza has the upper hand with durability while the Yokos will have an edge with ride quality, noise free(ness) and grip.

And the good part is , it still does not have any side wall cuts , in spite of frequent drives through the pothole ridden Palakkad- Thrissur stretch . This is start contrast to the OEM GoodYears, which we quite prone to cuts.

Thanks Rasputin. I ended up with Yokos DB series AVS 550 and pretty satisfied so far, although it is only early days of my experience.

Hey Guys...well i own a Jetta 2010 Production, which is ready for a tyre change and because of my extensive rural travelling 3 Alloy wheels are also due for a change as they are bent from numerous places.
I have chosen a set of chinese alloys made by Formula ONE and they are a replica of the New Jetta Highline alloy wheels. The OEM Alloy Size is 6.5J x16, where as the replacements are 7J x16, and the tyres that i intend to get are the Turanza GR90 now my queries...

1. Will this tiny alteration from 6.5 to 7 alloy size make any difference??If so then in a negative ay or positive???
2. If the answer to earlier question is no, then what is the perfect size recommended for the tyres, as i think 215/55/16 will suffice as against the OEM 205/55/16 which I feel will be thinner and what are the effects when it comes to maneuverability and comfort of the ride.
I hope some1 can really sort this problem out for me as i have been racking my brains since last week...
