    why are you replacing new tires?


    are you asking for what size, brand, model, etc. we suggest or what?

    i'm always open for any suggestions...

    expanding possibilities, if someone has positive and/or - expierences, in any way, with his or her tyres, i like to know and share.

    Tyres to me could mean:
    economic choice
    comfort or race
    fuel saving capabilities
    and maybe other

    These bridgestones are to sloppy (sidewall) in combination with the soft (comfort-zone) suspension of the Beagle, either i lower the thing or no hard cornering for me. The choice for this aspect ratio section height (x65) was pure cosmetic, i wasnt thinking.

    So now i'm pinpointing what i'm asking for, which was not my intention.
    My intention was, to gather as much personal expierence, to any type of tyre. Then i can weigh pros en cons with that info, thanks to you.

    I am who i am, and that does it..

    Yor prolly going to say, why didnt you say so in the 1st place : ) :lol:

    well, i suggest 185/60/14 tires. i believe thats stock for the 14's.

    Kumho makes nice and cheap tires. i dont complain about them at all. i've got 195/50/15 Kumho Escta AST tires. 20,000 km later and i still have like 80% tread left, and they corner very nicely, amazing grip, quiet, very good in rain....

    wtf you have a 15 inch spare tire? haha nice.

    i'd still rather got 185 then that 175 BS. my 13's take 175.. and they look thin enough lolz.

    My thoughts exactly...but ey, i was not the one, and invented a wagon...

    i know your' right, my common sense says something else : )

    I'm thinking 195

    Yeah the spare in Shuttles is usually a 15" space saver - high pressure (60+ psi) and low profile. You usually can't do over 80km/h with them on.

    I have had good experiences with Toyo and Dunlop so i choose to run them on my cars.

    195/60/14 looks a little fat on the shuttles, go for the 185/60/14.

    I'd rock 175/60r14(but they don't have them in the usa). At least it would attempt to look a little bit low profile. Every single other rim size has low profile tires (yes, even 13's). :cry: :cry:

    185-60-14's here

    the 175-65-14's were the perfect urban tire with a more complimenting balance to the rt4wd

    comprimise I guess
