Wider is always better for grip and traction. How ever there can be some major price differences between 205/50s and 195/50s so it's up to you if your price concerned, however wider is always better.

depends on what you wanna do? how low you are? i have the 205-50-15 azenis and they are wide like 219mm i believe but are worth it. its up to you how do you drive etc..

i would run 205x50x15 i had them on my ride, but had to switch to 195 because with people in the back the rubbed the inner wall..... BUT it was olny because of my drop. So what i am getting at, is if you dont have a 6 1/2 drop. RUN 205's... they look really good from behind

Well let's exclude Azenis from this topic, since they aren't truely the size indicated on the sidewall. The tread design of 205/50 Azenis is nearly 3/4" wider then my 205/50 Kumho 712s. So look apon the Azenis as one in a million tire design for at least this year. Next year who knows??

I think Im going w/ the kumho 712 (because thats what I can afford right now)

Anybody have any experiences w/ those... good or bad

strictly from a plus-sizing standpoint and keeping odo, speedo, and gearing as close as possible to stock, 195/50 is the proper size for 92-95 Civics, and 205/50 is the proper size for 96-00 Civics. I believe 92-95 came w/ 185/60-14 tires, while 96-00 had 185/65-14 tires, so there is the difference.

They are a decent tire. I like mine for everyday driving.
