195/50/15 Or 205/50/15

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

going to get some new tyres for the 205 it currently has 195/50/15 on speedlines will 205/50/15 fit or not and it has been lowered

[Gman 29]

Standard fitment is 185 width, so 205 is likely too wide for the speedlines.

Just get 195/50/15 or 185/55/15 if you have some extra money burning a hole in your pocket .

205 wont be too wide for the wheel, but is too wide for the car.

Or 195/45...

 

 

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

Hmm maybe 195/45 or is that too low profile

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

195/45/15 budget £28.45 Avon £47.45

195/50/15 budget £26.95 Michelin £48.45

195/55/15 budget £29.45 Avon £49.95

185/55/15 budget £26.95 Pirelli £69.45

What do these prices sound like good or not?

[lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars]

Depends on the tyre...

[Carbs4me 45]

You can get a good set of T1-R's for £52.90 inc.VAT from here, i paided £70 each for mine fitted at my local garage!

195/45/15 i have a full set of these on my car at the moment, always been a great tyre in my eyes.

 

£52.90 inc.VAT

Seeing as youre intent on using the "wrong" size then you can't go far wrong a pe2 in a 50 is about £55, far superior to a toyo or a yoko road tyre.

185/55/15 is best but always seems to be expensive tyre profile with not so much brands making this dimension ..

 

So id go for 195/50/15 if the budget is lower , though , by all means having a good quality tyre is really a must so choose wisely

That's if they still honour it - I will have to check.

i hear lots of people rating the r888 tyre is it mainly a track tyre or can it be on road i can only imagine its any good in summer when its dry

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

All my cars are shod with Muchelin.

 

 

It's kind of sad but I'm looking forward to the wife's new A1 getting to needing a set of tyres do I can shoe it correctly!

[rallyeash 155]

Track tyre really. I run them solely on my 205 bit it does about 500 road miles a year.

 

I'd go 195 50 15 but not Toyo T1R's

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

ok think il go 195/50/15 but what is a good grippy tyre for the road currently has pirelli p6000 and it just spinns up when you pull away (gti6 power) and i cant afford a new diff yet

[Anthony 1,003]

Learning to moderate your right foot is free...

 

Certainly I would avoid budget tyres like the plague (the fact you listed prices suggests you're considering them!) as they'll make even P6000's seem awe-inspiring by comparison - and that's coming from someone that's managed to keep shiny side up all year on a set of P6000's so I'm well aware of their limitations!

 

Michelin PE2's are excellent if a touch pricey, Falken 912's are pretty good, as are Hankook S1 Evo's. They would be the three that I would choose from, although Toyo T1-R's aren't bad in fairness - currently have them on my 306 and have run them on 205's before now.

[dcc 855]

As found out today, there are ZE914's too! They seem best bang for buck and will be fitted to my car when next required.
