Why does Toyota fit the US Corollas with 195/65/15 tires, and the Asian (Altis) models with 195/60/15 tires?

I want to replace the stock 195/60/15 tires of my Asian Corolla Altis with 195/65/15, but have been greatly discouraged. But the US models are shod with 195/65/15 tires! Is there a difference in suspension geometry between the US and Asian/European versions that they have to use different size tires? Do they use different speedometers that by using 195/65/15 tires on an Asian model would give me an inaccurate reading?

They probably use a lower profile tire because they have higher





traffic speeds and need more roadworthy capabilities. Or, it's





sanctioned by the local government for safety requirements.

Reply:to what i think its just a matter of vendors, if you know what i mean.


there's no difference over the suspension spec of both.





Hope it helps. Merry Christmas.
Reply:The tires are probably cheaper.
Reply:Don't do that! Put 205/60/15 on it, you'll be happy!
