Re: Tyre sizes (George Knighton)
but I don't see any advantage to 195-50 over 195-55.
2- better handling (lower sidewall)
3- better acceleration (smaller diameter)
4- A lot cheaper!!

Re: Tyre sizes (George Knighton)
Why is it you want the 195-50, anyway? I understand why people move to 205-50 or 215-50, but I don't see any advantage to 195-50 over 195-55.
Anyway, the point of a 195/50/15 is the make the car slightly lower and make the final drive a tad different. I prefer the 195/45/15 even more, but they're just tires.. who cares.

Re: Tyre sizes (EuroITR1689)
Oh, my mistake. I guess Toyo spelled it wrong too when they put "TOYO TIRES" on the sidewall of all their tires.
My bad. And yes, Toyo make the 195/45/15 Proxes T-1S.

Re: Tyre sizes (Black Sheep)
I am currently running 195/50/15 RE71's on my car and they work fine. They also look good w/the lower profile. I will be replacing them at the end of the summer w/some 205/50 Falkens.
