Technical 175 / 60 R 13 Tyres & Powerflex Bushes

[NSMG]

Cheers,

I would like to know if anyone here has ever tried 175/60 R13 on the Cinquecento Sporting. I'm currently using 175/50 but due to the awful roads where I use to drive, I'll have to give up from them...
I'm thinking of buying a set of 175/60 R13 Yokohamas A539.
I will probably also buy a set of Powerflex bushes.
Any opinions are welcome.


Thank you.
Best Regards.
NSMG

Using those wheels would slow you down and make your speedo innacurate as the rolling radius is higher, oh and the higer profile sidewall will make it handle like poo!
The speedo will be approx +10% of whatever speed you doing.
Powerflex bushes are good even though i hav'nt got any transforms the handling apparently.

It were proper Bo i tell thee!!​

higher sidewalls dont always mean poo handling, I recon 175-60's are better than 175-50's personal choice as to how you want the car to behave. They prob make the speedo accurate too

see my link for some tyre size comparisons I have done
