Who here is running this tire size? Do you have a pic I could see? I'm thinking of buying this size for my GS-R wheels because they're MUCH cheaper than 205/50-15 for the AVS ES100's, so I just want to see what they look like. If you're running 195/50 ES100's and have a pic definitely post it up please. I know my car will sit lower but I just want to get an idea of how much.

isn't 195/50/15 the stock tire size??

No, on Integras the stock size is 195/55-15 (slightly larger sidewall and overall diameter). Right now I'm running 205/50-15 ES100's which are about $72/tire at the Tire Rack, but I'm considering going with 195/50 ES100's which are only $54/tire, so that's a savings of almost $75 for the set.

stay with 205/50/15.

Thanks guys, I wanted to see how the sidewall height compared between 195/50 and 205/50.

I'm not sure if this helps you or not, but if the tire is 100% true to its sizing (which is rarely the case), the dimensions would be as follows:

195/50-15 -- 3.84" sidewall and 22.68" overall height
205/50-15 -- 4.04" sidewall and 23.07" overall height
195/55-15 -- 4.22" sidewall and 23.44" overall height (stock size for comparison)

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but the 195/50's (and even the 205/50's, but to a much smaller degree) will slightly affect your speedometer readings and also effectively lower your gearing.

U need picture of the back of cars with both tires.

I've ran 205/50 tires before and I now have 195/50 tires. And I don't really feel any difference between the two sizes except that my 195/50 tires seem the grip better. But then again, I have 195/50 S-03s compared to 205/50 Kumho 711s. But here is a size comparison for you. 205/50 on the Enkei's and 195/50 on the Rota's.





BTW, I like the 195/50 better because I'm a weight reduction *****.
