Wondering if I can put a bigger wheel and tire set on my 2010 Aveo. I currently have the factory steel 15" wheels and am wondering if I went up to a 16 or 17 if I would get a little better handling?

Those wheels are only 14s...
If you want to keep the speedo right you can only go lo profile 16s iirc
The wheels and tires I have are 15's. Maybe I should just stay with factory size?
just going to a more performance oriented tire would improve handling. And a 195/50r15 tire size would add to that while staying close to the same size.
The factory steel wheels on aveos are 14s... the 15s are alloys. And what rabbit said. I love my nexen n3000sQuote:

Pickles, i'm going to have to CORRECT you here, I have the OFFICIAL 2010 Brochure in front of me ATM, and there are THREE Wheel choices: a 14" steel wheel with bolt on cover (standard on the LS and 1LT trim lines) a 15" 5 spoke aluminum alloy (available on LT) and a 15" Steel Wheel with Bolt on Cover. (Standard on the 2LT Trim Package) and i bet the OP's car is a 2LT.Quote:

Im sorry, im gonna go away now...lol
But my previous comment stands nexen n3000 are the bomb diggity shiggity wiggity do-wop
I just went with a 195/65/14 instead of the stock 185's. Made a huge difference on both mine and my wifes Aveos. Took away alot of the wandering within the lane.
The 195/50r15 size does not seem to be all that easy to find? At least not online and in an all season configuration. Tire Rack only lists 2 and they are not very good tires for my geographical location. Probably have better luck locally?
Where are you located?
Try here..
Our selection of 195/50 15 - tires-easy.com
I suggested that size because i can buy them off the shelf at NTB, PEPboys, Firestone, and sears in my local area. (I dont' run that size currently. And I don't buy my tires there).
IF you say there are none for your geographical location, I am going to go ahead and say you need a separate set of snow wheels and tires. In the long run you get better performance in both seasons, and the "partial" use will allow tires to last longer.
I don't understand why you are making such a big deal over a light on the dash...you do not NEED tpms sensors. The car works just fine without them
