Just knw every change u make to raise the car has its pros n cons. Weigh them n decide. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

Rank: Member Joined: 5/2/2007 Posts: 536		I was faced with the same decision some 1.5 years ago and opted to -> get a slightly higher profile 65% -> 70%: This had little effect since the suspension was weak and when the car had bebad guys... -> later replaced springs(kings) and shocks(monroe): This was the real deal - handling and stability drastically improved plus ground clearance. No regrets. If anything, I'm tempted on my next tyre change to go back to the stock tyres so as to get accurate speedometer readings.

Also higher profile tyres are give a smoother ride for our kind of roads.

Rank: Member Joined: 5/2/2007 Posts: 536		@eddyz I did my calculations while changing -> it's about 3% change so should be ok.. Also was advised by the tyre sellers that lower profile tyres have this tendency to get those swellings ...
