no just kiddin actually i'm at the express every week..and cross the toll road everyday so i hit aroun 150-160 there everyday..and the car has no control on that speed..! specially with the final curve of the toll

185/55 R15 will be an ideal upgrade I guess..Thai spec cities run on these.
Another interesting upgrade will be 195/60 R15.

would you all suggest a 15"er or 16"er i personally want a 16"er but dont want the ride to be really rough or for the car to hit breakers if even one person is sitting..

Personally speaking 15inchers will be more then enough for a NHC Vtec. The car with 16inchers will ride very bad and will affect the speedo quite a lot.

Why dont you go in for 195/60/15. They will be just perfect for the car.

Cheers
