19 inch Wheels and Tyres

[Kakricas]

Hi Phuketians

 

I have recently bought a Chevrolet Captiva and i would like to fit 19inch wheels plus tyres. Do you know any good shop? Please only post if you know a good one that you have a personal experience. I am wondering also if it would be possible to exchange (obviously paying for the extra cost) my current wheels and tyres that are in excellent condition.

 

Cheers fellas and enjoy the weekend to the maximum

I recommend the giant tyre place just opposite the main inter city bus station. They offer me great deals and will take you old gear if in good condition as part exchange.

Manit centre max, something to think about when installing bigger rims and tires is that the Speedometer will no longer be accurate.

I discovered that problem when installing larger wheels on our MU7. The in car computer give faulty fuel consumption and mileage. Oh well ... too bad ????

So long as the rolling road radius is the same the speedo will be fine. It looks like for 19" you will need to drop to 45 or 40 profile , the latter having the minimal impact on speedo reading. Don't forget to get same offset of rim.

Whilst the OP does not state vehicle year model later ones 2016 to 2018) came from the factory with 19's wearing a 235/50 tyre.

And if they did then the speedometer would have been calibrated accordingly to suit the running gear.

Typically is a selectable setting within the ECU that the dealership can do.

I have been attempting to help the poster with facts, not misleading nonsense you may have heard in Thailand.

But still it is up to the poster anyway. Not that any Thais worry about speedo readings anyway, and judging from this thread some Farangs also.

What size wheels and tyres are on it now...?

Nothing I have posted has been misleading.

 

A quick google search suggests the Captiva runs several different tyre sizes ranging from a  215/70/16 tyre to a 235/50/19 tyre.

 

And according to the calculator you posted the results are...

 

 

A 1.42% equates to a difference of 2km/h.

You mislead by saying the dealers adjust the ECU in post 10 - total nonsense,

I really don't know how you are working your sums, but...........let's take the first.

16 inches = 406.4 mm. Then add the width of the tyre 2 x 70 mm. This gives a total diameter of 576.4 mm.

Then multiply by pi 576.4 x 3.142 = 1881.05 mm.

 

Using the same formula on the second comes to 1830.53 mm

The difference between the two is 2.7%.

 

Don't know a thing about cars, or tyres, but, enjoy maths.

Best you direct your math concerns to the website that has the calculator, also you should google aspect ratio of tyres.... the 70 aint 70mm.

Well yes misleading as in I do not have knowledge of Chevrolet, Ford on the other most certainly do.
