reyben:
hello,

I would like to ask what is the effect of running with a flat tire from welcome rotonda up to quezon city hall on normal speed. Does it affects the shape of the mags? How would I know whether my mags are already oval in shape. I hope you could help me regarding this matter. Thank you.

fordranger:
Bring it to the service center and have it balanced, after that you will surely know if Sira na mags mo

Off topic but just curious...if I dont plan to change the factory stock rims of Toyota Innova, what is the biggest tires that I can use with the original rims?
I heard kasi na tires used by car companies are "all-purpose" tires.
Im planning sana to change my tires to a bigger tires pero I dont know which tire size is ok for the stock rims of the Innova.
If I change to a bigger tire size, mas magiging matagtag ba ang ride and mahirap ang handling?
Hope you guys can give me an advice. Thanks!

I can't answer about what size and how to properly compute it (I know there is a way I just can't remember the instructions/site).

anyway, it will lead to heavier steering compared to stock tires as well as "worse" fuel economy as the engine needs more power to spin the tires. I also think it makes you go through more miles as opposed to what your odometer reads as I know the odo bases it on tire rotations/revolutions adding basically the circumference of the tire per revolution/spin (although I may be mistaken) <- this is just a point of concern as you may think you are not yet meant for your PMS but in terms of distance you already are, if the distance on the odo is in fact measured via the tire rotations/revolutions.

Cheers!
