I am considering ordering some of the above mentioned tires in size 205-50-15, just wanted to here general opinions on the tire and there performance.

 

i have the s-03's but in the 195/50R15 model, and they are super good all around tires. I give them

 

195/55's are cheap right now..... $76 I think.

 

yeah, tirerack has them for really cheap.. The 205's are well over a hundred bucks though. So if thats what your gonna get your gonna be spending a lot more.

 

BTW it's the 195/50R15 not 195/55!!!

 

great tire.

 

Good, because I just ordered them in the 205 size. 118 a tire from thetirerack.com

 

The section width of the 195/50 is 200 mm and the 205/50 is even 213 mm wide!!!!

 

Nice. I'll hopefully be getting the azenis.

 

Heard a lot of good things about this tyre but they're really expensive, I'm looking some F1's from mine soon.

 

Any big diff. in ride from 195/55 to 195/50? Just a little shorter sidewall : better handling, less smooth?

 

Note: If your car isn't lowered, you'll have even more fenderwell gap after you install the 195/50.

 

I had placed my order earlier today with Tirerack. I gotta call from them informing me that the 195 / 50 s are smaller by 1/2 from 195 /55. It's their policy to call. Sounds like an awesome tire. I'm still going to buy them

 

I run 195/50 SO-3's as well and even though they are rated as the same width the SO-3's are significantly wider than the RE010's. Wheel gap is not noticeable in my opinion. These tires grip incredible in the dry and are even better in the wet. Sidewalls are very stiff too for good turn in. I give them . For all out street tires there is nothing better.

 

Falken Azenis. 205/50/15.

 

I was thinking about getting the same thing (205-50-15, s-03), any one else have some more opinions on them.

 

S03's are the best street tires money buys.. I'm on Michelin Pilot Sports right now, and they rock, but i'm replacing them with S03's.. plus Pilots are $$ and i think 16" is the smallest they make.

 

Damn right. I run S0-3s in 195/50/15 also and when i was just having it mounted, the tire guy kinda had a hard time because the sidewalls were stiff, it wouldn't just pop into place.

 

I say 205-50-15 is the best as you don't alter the gearing and they provide more tire. They need a little more pressure due to the fit on our smallish 15x6 wheels but trust what everyone says you can't go wrong with either size they are the best street tire out now. I love mine I have the 205-50-15s.

 

Well, it looks like stock GSR wheelgap IMO. Going from 195/55 RE010s to a 205/50/15 tire even gave my ITR more wheelgap when I had the stock suspension. A 195/50 is not going to be any better.

However, for the stock 15x6 rim, a 195/50 is going to be the best choice as the wide 205/50's will make the car feel sloppy.
