I am looking several options for the next time I am changing my tires.
1. Keep the same size but replacing the OEM wheels with same size
2. Replacing the OEM wheels but use slight smaller tires (width being
smaller - not the diameter)
3. Going one size bigger
I have a 2001 Sentra SE 2.0. It has 15-inch wheels and the optional
ABS. I am more concern about keeping the correct pressure than the
speed reading on the speedometer. I am concern about the ABS
affectiveness with changing from the original size. Also, the
performance, as in cornering, is another concern. Lastly, I am concern
about any change in fuel economy.
So, the first option is easy.
For the second option, it is called zero plus size. I found the option
at www.tire.com. The option call for the 185 instead of the 195 width.
I don't want to go to 205 width. The tire thread life is low.
For the third option, I like to to go one size bigger to a 16-inch
wheel. I don't know if 17-inch is a good idea. I have the tendency to
hit pot holes.
Your input is appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance.
