i got the GSR Fatty Fives in my hatchback and im debating in eigther getting 195/45/15 from Kumho or 205/50/15 Falken 512. i never seen 50's or 45's on fatty fives so im curious, which one would be better for my 90 hatchback. would it be a big difference in height in those two tires sizes if i want to lower the car pretty low? i got TEIN SS coilovers so trying to see how low and well of a ride i can get. anybody have any advice please?

 

id get the 205/50/15 Falken 512. better traction

 

i have 195/50/15 kumho on my GSRs they are alright

 

i always hear about these falken tires on honda tech falken tires are junk...spend the money and get some bridgestone potenza pole position tires...

And you have riden on Falken tires on your car or you are throwing out a statement which you believe to be true? Just curious cause the Potenza Pole Position are completely junk for use as an Ultra High Performance tire goes.

I'd rock either the Falken Azenis RT615 or the Kuhmo MX's both do extremely well both have great grip and perform very well.


To OP 205/50/15's

 

195/45/15 is pretty thin and would probably ride a little on the rough side

 

195/50/15's or 205/50's

45's are way too little!

 

falken Ziex's are junk, but you can't argue with the price.

 

I didn't even know that 195/45/15s were available. 21.9" diameter. have fun with your speedo inaccuracies.

 

Would the 205's extend too far outward on a 6" honda rim? Would it even fit? Just wondering for future reference.

 

I've seen lots of people with 205's on Si and GSR wheels.

I've always thought that 205's look ugly. It's just too much of a tire (looks wise) IMO. If you could get a 205 with an aspect ratio a little lower than 50 series, it would probably look good. I don't think one exists though.

Apparently better tires are offered in 205/50's compared to the 195.
