RIMS and Tyres
RIMS and Tyres
Hi all
Forgive me for my ignorance in this dept but could the informed lot enlighten me and sort a few queries of mine:
1--- Id like to replace the standard tyres on the new city that i should be acquiring before the end of the week... i understand that you get the best deal with the tyres driven under 100km i.e straight from showroom to the tyre shop... Now id like to install 185/ s ...now the complication is this that i would soon like to take the standard rims and replace them with 14 inch alloys aswell.... so guys how does it work , does this mean i have to get the alloys first and then the tyres ( makes sense) or can it also work the other way round.
2-- I have absolutely no idea about the tyrie/rim prices in pak /karachi so if one could get me the estimate of what i should expecting as trade value for my regular new car tyres against a decent( not too pricy) set of yokohama or bridgestone. (Plz do suggest any particular series and price diference expectd
Similarly for the rims... the trade value of the standard rims against a decent set of alloys..and any particular make etc.
Again your council apprciated
cheers

get both the rims and the tires in one GO.
Your original rims + tires should go for around 8000Rs.
New set of 14inch rims should cost around 13-14000.
tires should cost around 11-12000.
Yokohama C-drive is getting good reviews from pakwheelers. I've not tried them myself but will be getting them soon.
about the tire size, you can go for 185(width) but dont increase the overall profile. Whats the tire size you're getting on the city?
