i was just wondering if i go to a 195/50 size will there be any comprises in handling or ride, or is it fine to go with that size, btw 195/55 is stock size for integra

 

195/50 will throw your speedo off a little, but the lower profile does look better. How about 205/50?

 

when i had an integra i ran a 195-50-15 on it no problems the ride is a bit stiffer and your gear ratio will be a lil shorter.

 

Anyone else know anything about load differences with these tires vs. the 195/55? I heard that the 50 series has a lower load capability than the 55? I want to get some yokohama avs es 100 tires in size 195/50/15 for my integra w/ gsr fat-fives. So should I go with the 55's or the 50's i would like to know the pro's and cons of both.
Thank You.

also considering 205/50 size, thats what i have now for my summer tires,, they seemed alright, but i heard that this size doesn't handle as well because it is a bit wide for the rim size, and so it effects the side wall, it seemed alright though when i had them on even with messed up tires, so not too sure yet what to decide on
but most likely getting falken 512s, tread wear is decent

You will nowhere near the load capacity of either tire. Do the 195-50, you won't notice a difference in your speedo, MAYBE 2 miles per hour tops. In my opinion I think the 205-50's look a little goofy, they look like bubbles to me but I guess it also depends on what size the wheels are...

 

Oh ok man, its just i didnt know. Alright its seems like 50 series it is. THey are also cheaper, hehe.
