Which tire?
Which tire?
I have a set of Konig Heliums (15x6.5) wheel on my 2018 Fit.
I currently have the stock Firestones(185/60R15) (16lbs)
I was looking at two tires to replace this:
1. Hankook Kinergy ST (185/60R15) - same size, light weight (15lbs)
2. Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 (195/55/R15) - slightly smaller diameter(-0.3in), slightly heavier (17lbs)
From these two, which one would you recommend?
The Yokohamas is the better tire in terms of grip, but wondered if I would be able to tell the difference in weight, and how much "off" it would look with the smaller diameter.
The Hankook is a really lightweight tire, but still an all-season tire, and I live in a place that doesn't snow...
Regardless, these will be way better than the OEM Firestones, so wondered what you guys might prefer.
Lmk, thanks
